My comment is a direct answer to a rather naive post made by one of the gentlemen hanging around here (Mr. Alcatraz on the very 1st page of this thread). It was a rather gratuitous, chip shot and really out of the place. it was addressed just for the record.

As far as Pirelli goes IMO this has been a rather strange championship with a tire company mainly asked to make chip tires that wear off sooo quickly that the teams would be forced to make several tire changes during a GP. (Ecclestone's idea) And all that to improve the show. Pirelli is trying to cope with the various safety issues caused by these horrible tires but when you are looking at Pirelli as the main culprit you are definetly wasting your time.

So, a team tries to run a tyre out of safe parameters and the Tyre manufacturer says it's unsafe. Shock horror. Must be Pirelli's fault :laugh:

If you substituted RBR for McLaren in this story, ioans response would probably have been... "Whitmarsh trying to murder his drivers!!" :D

I have to agree knock on. No way is that Pirelli's fault.

Been a long time since we've seen blistered tyres in F1.

Pirelli to request tyre rule change for 2012 to reduce wastage - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

The cheaper deal (for F1) appears to be a little too expensive for Pirelli?

Whilst I will have to annoyingly admit that Pirelli seem have done a decent enough job in F1 this year, I really don't feel this is the sort of company you want in F1. F1 is expensive and IMHO we should have a sport where the tyre companies have to bring loads of different compounds of tyres to each race simply to compete with the other tyremaker/s. But back to Pirelli, F1 is expensive and if they think they've got a brand that belongs in F1 then they should bloody well do what is asked of them.

They are crap and they make it a virtue on top of it.
On they're own they requested many more changes than all teams together during this season.
Pretty sure most teams would kick them out without second thoughts if they could chose a professional supplier.

Bugger off Pirelli, this is not your kindergarten.

Jeeez, I thought it's supposed to be expensinve because they spend money trying to build fast cars not to carry around tires noone uses... that's just ridiculous... perhaps next time the tire supplier should be requiered to have some amount of gold in their tires :laugh:

So what happened Ioan? Did your entire family died in a car crash caused by pirelli tyres because otherwise this is quite abnormal.

ioan's got a bee in his bonnet about Pirelli and true to form, will doggedly stick to his opinion no matter what evidence is to the contrary in the unshakable belief that if he continues to state his opinion over, and over, and over again, it may magically become fact.
