Rubber twist?
Controversy brewing over tires once again as Pirelli changes the thickness off the tread layer by .04mm at the request of the Merc team after Barcelona testing .
Other teams are upset because the change is meant to reduce overheating , which was most acute at Mercedes where they saw heavy blistering when running on the newly laid track surface .
I think they may have a point because this was pushed through for what were called safety reasons , but Mercedes were the only ones to complain .

The problem is that they don't make the decision soon enough, or even have it in the plan before the race. The guy behind who's just come out on fresh tyres & is 2 seconds a lap faster needs the call...
