Sounds like someone on another thread at the moment :laugh: (That's not some cheap dig at you btw KNockie...)

I have to hold my hand up and say that PIrelli are doing a decent job, I still believe others could do better but Pirelli are getting a C+/B- IMHO which is a passing grade.

I think that the reason Pirelli wants to drop a set of the hards is because they are never used and just get made to be destroyed.

As they are never used, Pirelli are asking why they need to be made transported, purchased and finally destroyed.

Wouldn't it be easier to just bring one set less is all they're asking.

Saves time, effort and money.

I don't know whether this is evidence that Pirelli is failing as a F1 tyre supplier but it sort of makes sense to me.

Sods law says that you drop that set and then it's needed. Personally I'm 100% against single tyre suppliers and limited compounds. It completely takes the magic out of tyre selection and makes for more monotonous racing.

Makes sense to me too, did people complain as much when bridgestone asked to make it compulsory for the teams to have to run both compounds in the race also to cut wastage?

Well, I appreciate what you are saying about single suppliers but whether it's DRS or Pirelli, you can't argue that this year has been one of the most exciting. If you agree with DRS or the tyre regulations, this year is anything but monotonous.

Definitely. I like DRS personally. This year has been good for sure and I really don't get the DRS whiners.

There is no evidence to the contrary.

Standardization has to start somewhere. The future of F1 looks standardized.

I would never put Pirelli's on my car, Dunlop and Michelin are much better.
