After watching today's race, I believe that this rule adds very little to the race - the tyres' pace and wear rates are different enough to get rid of this rule without any damage to race strategies and excitemente; in fact, I'd say that it would make races even more exciting, as it would allow even more different strategies.
So what's your opinion? :p
It's always been stupid. And as it is allows teams less choice of strategy not more.
How about get rid of tyre regs?
Agree.
IMHO it should be like this
Any tyre manufacturer can come and play (I guess there would have to be safety tests)
Any amount of compounds on any race weekend
Unlimited amount of tyres for the race weekend (if you can't afford to pay for the tyres you don't deserve to be racing)
No need to use used tyres from quali for the race.
Etc etc.
Why would anyone want to pay a fortune for tires if they can get them for free?!Quote:

yes.... and all the other artificial rules as well... drs... kers that can be used only once per lap etc etc...
Yes I agree with everything above.
I hate the forced compound change.
Just let the drivers race, 0 stops or 4 stops whatever.
I think the rule was introduced when Bridgestone became the sole tyre supplier. I seem to remember something about making tyres a talking point to leave Bridgestone some of the exposure that they lost when the tyre war ended.
