Pirelli

The inters were still s**t in comparison to B'stones which had a larger operating window. Good thing they're not in a tyre war because I wouldn't be happy going to warmer climates.

Pirelli just don't have the luxury of tyre testing as in previous years.

I'm growing more and more impressed with Pirelli and any doubters that remain are just stubborn and will never give them the credit they deserve.

Latest news is that the FIA asked Pirelli to bring suitable compounds to races in order to allow for 2 stop races. I wonder why? Because they were great until now? :rolleyes:

There's nothing to be impressed with. The tires are crap this year.

That's why so many exciting races...keep on the bad job Pirelli :up: :D

I guess we get excited by different circumstances.

I think they are expecting a few issues in Valencia in a couple of weeks. I think I read that somewhere.

I know some haven't and won't be impressed by Pirelli, but I have largely enjoyed recent races, where the tyres have lasted a bit longer.

Lets hope the future races don't have too many major issues.

Point double proven. Seesh. Perhaps one day you'll see the light but I doubt it.

Definitely. The 'stone inters were an awesome tyre. The Pirelli's aren't a patch on them and I think in the wet we need proper tyres.

Personally I think the the lack of testing is just moronic in terms of tyres and getting the lower teams up to speed.....
