Red tyres??

[wmcot]

Why not go one step further and take away the rule that locks a team into one compund of tire? That way, as a race weekend changes, the teams could have a larger variety of compounds to choose to fit conditions. F1 was run this way back in the 70's. The "one compound" rule is just as artificial as the "red tire" rule would be. Let's let the teams decide what tires to run, not the FIA!

They might do, but no team is going to waste the weight on a starter motor. The drivers not supposed to stall! :

A minimum weight rule, however, could make having a starter moder being there for "ballast" make sense.

Why red? Why not white walled?

LOL

Could be interesting, this color coded tyres.

The rules & regs should just be there to cover the safety aspects of the sport and the technical regs should be as free as possible, and let the teams get on with it!

If I ever need help organizing a parade, I'll be sure to ask you.

It's great to see different technologies competing against each other, but if the competition isn't close, why would I want to watch?

I didn't like the red tires when Champ Car started using them, but they've grown on me. It adds some interesting strategy to the race. I've noticed that some drivers can drive faster on blacks than on reds. I'm sure Bridgestone would be glad to save some money by not having to ship as many different compounds to every track.

Why do we need strategy?

Surley the racing should be enough, if its done right?

I don't want to watch races which depend on the speed of the pit crew to determine the winner.

If its strategy you want watch chess..............

Funny...I remember Max M comparing F1 to just that some time ago He also suggested something along the lines of you don't need goals in a game of football to make it exciting, just as you don't need overtaking in F1

Well, it´s nothing more than seeing them with other colour scheme, because as Call me Andrew said, pilots in blacks could be faster that the ones in red.

And Bridgestone would try to sabe money bringing less tyres to each GP... I don´t see F1 cars with red tyres, but maybe some marketing wizard would think about tyres as another place to put sponsors.

That's a huge "if".
