Pirelli

Well the new 'hard tire' did hold as much as the soft ones until recently so much about the planed 30 laps.

Could you fix that last post , my friend .
I didn't understand your point there .

If numerous links and quotes that happened before the season start aren't enough, I'm more than happy to accept that Ioan simply chooses to follow the untrue version of reality. :)

It's well documented what Pirelli were asked to do, and it was before the start of the season.

Doesn't look like it, reading this thread. I wonder if it has to do with trolling around or somethings else, worse than it.

So you accept that Pirelli were asked to make less durable tyres but you won't believe it because it's "hogwash"? :confused:

I'm confused too. It's not difficult, is it? Pirelli were asked to make less durable racing tyres, which they did. Some people couldn't follow the more complicated race strategies which we saw at the beginning of the season. Some people couldn't understand the concept that it doesn't automatically mean their road tyres are rubbish. A rival company exploited this perception. Pirelli are reacting.

What's "hogwash" about any of that? :s

Very concise summing up Dave.

Pirelli were asked to make less durable tyres and they have. I don't see what's so difficult about that. Pirelli themselves have said that making tyres to last over a GP distance would have been much easier than what they were asked to do.

Each to his own I guess.

one thing i did notice over the German GP was Pirelli saying that the soft tyre was the very same soft they had at the start of the year and it was a combination of the cool conditions and the less abraisive track surface menaing the tyres lasted longer here, plus the fact the teams and drivers have adapted to set the cars up and drive to maximise the performance of the tyres for a longer period

Very good point. Martin Brundle commented how little camber the teams were now running on the rears to minimize wear.
