No complaints from me.
Nice to see a natural order of the best teams and drivers going toe to toe.
Monaco and Montreal are low degradation tracks so teams will try to eke out a one stopper if they can.Quote:

Better than Monaco, I am more relaxed now.

Just goes to show that if you don't try and use them outside their parameters then they work fine. If you want to run them on long stints then you need to look after them but if you want balls out then you need more stops.
Simples :p
1) We don't know if the have changed the construction or the compound of the tyre. They probably haven't.Quote:

In all likelihood this was because of Montreal being very easy on tyres.
Yeah, don't worry, soon you will have your entertaining races with tyres lasting 8 laps and all those wonderful DRS passes to drool over like a 13 year old girl drools over justin bieber.Quote:

It's exit acceleration that is of more concern but long straights and heavy braking zones are meaningless. Monza has long straights and heavy breaking zones and the tyre deg is low.Quote:
