They're doing what they've been asked to do,by the looks of the kerbs today they are playing havoc with tyres,best race I've been to here in years though |

Mmmmmm... Basically, Pirelli were asked to design tyres that would not last race distance, so they have to pit and change compounds etc. Too many races this year have been about driving to save the tyres, it's all wrong... Anyway, I have a feeling Pirelli will say the drivers were driving off the track and that is not their problem.. If you have ever been on a racetrack and looked at the kerbs, some of them are about 3" high. Technically, you are to stay on the black stuff and never cross the white lines. I know, it's never gonna happen, but dem be da rules... Personally I think Pirelli must be cringing about what this must be doing to their reputation. I also think F1 should be balls out racing and the tyres should last a whole race if need be, but they must change at least once.... Anyway, I'm in the Mancave today with friends drinking an unhealthy amount of beer. Enjoyed the GP, now on to Glastonbury.... Previously..

The rules at present are that you are allowed two wheels off the track but not four.

Need more gravel and grass on those corners instead of humps as i think it would make it more interesting for sure |

We went through a phase of a certain type of Pirelli on S70/V70 T5s at work.
