Well it'll be interesting in terms of racing at least.......
Pirelli...???? Mmm, and their famously non grippy tyres. Just how do they keep getting these contracts?
well, thats why I was hoping for Michelin, but if pirellis turn out to be rubbish, we could have races like the recent canadian gp, and we can see who can last the most on turd tyres
What do you mean IF?Quote:

They were cheaper than Michelin...Quote:

Rubbish. It should never just be about cost when it comes to tyres. Michelin make better tyres than Pirelli.Quote:

I agree 100%
Indeed,although I belive Pirelli don't mind a tire war starting in 2013, by then, hopefully, economic markets will be better and teams won't mind spending money on tyres, so control tyres are not a bad thing for now, although i really hope we return to an open tyre formula in a couple of yearsQuote:
