YAY! :D

Although the cynic in me thinks they just have cr@p tyres and don't want the bad press. :rolleyes: :p :

Whatever the reason it seems the majority of fans will be happy; quickly degrading softs and hard as nails primes.

They should ditch the mandatory 2 types of tyre rule during the race. It's pointless.

I agree. Let the teams use all four compounds during a race. Make the compounds significantly different and it's up to the teams/drivers to gamble on which compound they can get to work best.

You might get different strategies that way - some teams going for a harder compund and trying to run the whole race without a stop and others going for a softer compund and trying to buildup a gap before having to stop.

Worst case we get what we have now which is everybody pretty much on the same strategy. Can't hurt to try.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. With less compounds available, Bridgestone/Pirelli don't have to pay to ship as many tires.

I agree with this

I also applaud Pirelli with this Idea, and hope they get the support they need. It good add a real tyre element to F1 rather than this forced stop rule.

Pirelli are just making excuses because of the crap tyres they make

I suspect you're probably right. but Bridgestone tyres seem too good sometimes, so it's a fine balance. lets hope they are not awful, that would be a travesty and a joke for F1.

Look on the bright side.

The accuracy of the predictions on here amaze me.
TGF was going to blow Nico into the tub. How did that work out?
The Cosworth engine was garbage and would be at the back of the field. How did that work out?
Might we wait and see just what Pirelli produce before we proclaim them crap?
