Endurance racing is indeed interesting in that sense :)
Perhaps I need my tinfoil hat putting on, but I won't just take what James Allen says as fact :)

Michelin wanted to transfer their endurance racing know how to F1 with bigger wheels which meant more money and R&D bother.
I remember that Michelin proposed 20" wheels. If Michelin had won the bid, then Lewis Hamilton would have had spinners on his car since Oz.Quote:

Saw this one coming, new hard compound is crappier than the previous one!

It has to be said that Pirelli have really brought the fun back into F1 again. Thank you, thank you, thank you Pirelli !
I am loving F1 more this season than any other season before, and I've seen some good ones in the past !

Pirelli support red flag rule tweak so cars are not allowed to be worked in in a red flag situation. I support this too, no work allowed on the cars, they start as they stop.
We were robbed of a grandstand finish last Sunday. It's a shame. I doubt Vettel would have won the race on 62 lap old Pirelli's.
