    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I think it would make sense for Hankook to try and enter F1. They aren't as well-known as Bridgestone, Michelin and Pirelli, so they could definitely use a publicity boost. And with more testing for the next years, plus some changes that will surely be made by the FIA to improve safety -e.g., taking a closer look at kerbs-, they could pull off a decent tyre which doesn't have as many failures as today's Pirellis have. But I don't really see them entering F1 in 2014 - would they be able to develop an appropriate tyre for F1 standards in six months? My armchair engineering expertise indicates that it looks a bit far-fetched...

    No one watches the tyre competition. People get to see the best drivers in the best cars on the best tyres driving as fast as a car can go on the track, not drivers being limited by some **** rubber.

    And if the rules are changed to allow testing, then that gives Pirelli a cast iron guarantee of a win in any court case they wish to bring against the FIA.

    Well lets say Red Bull takes Bridgestone and Ferrari takes Michelin and those tires could play the difference in wins, podiums, and points for constructors and driver's titles. Like how IndyCar went back to multiple engines, that made competition awesome to watch. I say it's fun to watch
