As long as they do not fall apart who gives a rat's a--! It will be the same for everyone. So what if they are several seconds slower than Bridgestone. It might mean more passing and better racing for all we know, now.

Back in 2004 I think it was, Pirelli had MAJOR problems with tyres falling apart (and I mean properly falling apart!!!!!) because it was a couple of degrees warmer in some of the rallies than they predicted. Do you REALLY want this sort of company supplying tyres to Formula 1?Quote:

All that will happen is teams will be forced to make more pit stops, and as we know from Canada, that makes for great races.
Interesting that the FIA, McLaren and Ferrari preferred a supply of Michelins, according to James Allen.
So everyone has **** tyres. Yay!
Or, look at it from another prespective;Quote:

I don't often agree with the use of the p word. But the word pinnacle should apply in F1 when it comes to tyres
Go Pirelli, show everyone what italians can do :p :
Fingers crossed Pirelli won't make a hash of the control tyres
We already know what they can do... :p :Quote:
