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!

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.racing-reference.info/showblog?id=1785

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..............I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Well, itīs 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 donīt see F1 cars with red tyres, but maybe some marketing wizard would think about tyres as another place to put sponsors.Cuando el grajo vuela bajo hace un frío del carajo
