Pirelli is not used as control tire since two years :D :D

I shall read also brackets (and think about it as well) :D

I think it was the opposite? Mads on Pirellis and Neuville on Michelins as usual?
On the final podium, both were on Michelin tires.

Yes, it was the opposite, my bad :)
We were at the service park and were quite amazed that Mads had only Pirellis.
Also Thierry said after the race thet they used completely different tires.
