Terrible, rubbish tyres. Disgrace. Joke and travesty.

Is that the sort of thing you were after Pino.

nice job Pirelli, now even kimi in a lotus can win

tyres rule !

[Robinho]

It was the first time they have used the super soft in Melbourne and it was cooler than the tyres optimum operating window. A few drivers got 10+ laps out of them at the start on top of the qually laps, so yes they were fragile, but they were ok. In hotter weather on a different track they'll probably be the tyre of choice.

Yep

We need to wait and see how the tyres develop and how the teams get used to using them.

Nothing wrong with the tyres: they behaved pretty much as predicted, notwithstanding the cooler ambient temperatures. The supersofts were designed for short stints, and keep in mind the race winner only made 2 stops.

Spot on Dave

Well, they're discussed on every other thread so they can have one of their own

Lets start with why they are changing the hard compound when 8 teams asked them not to?

Could it be because the most powerfull team in motorsport demanded it?

Lets start with why they are changing the hard compound when 8 teams asked them not to?

And, indeed, when the hard compound is one that doesn't seem particularly problematic.

Unless there is more to Massa's tyre failures than they are admitting.
