They should bring their full range to the circuit and let the teams decide on the compounds they want for the race.

I think this is a good idea. I don't mind the tyre rules as they stand but have always felt that there should be a greater difference between the two types.
I hate it when you get the drivers saying things like "there's little difference between the two" when talking about tyres on a GP weekend.
Hamilton, for example, seems to avoid the softer option as he seems to suffer from tyre degredation more than Kovalainen. Heidfeld has struggled with tyres all year.
With these rules we may see the drivers having to adapt to another variable and that may prove to be an entertaining thing indeed.Forza Ferrari!!

Plus I don't like the idea of bespoke compounds for different teams therefore optimising the car and detriment the racing.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Isn't it likely that the greater the differences between the tyre options the more likely the teams are to chose the same tyre, and so making little or no difference to the racing?
As we've seen in the past competition between tyre manuafacturers can make a real difference, but that's no longer an optionRiccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

Errrrr what happens next year with the Slicks - obviously they can't put a white line on them coz, well, it will come off! White walled tires - much like Champ Car had when we had "Reds" and "Blacks"?

well i remember bridgestone saying it was too hard as a soft could be the the next races hard tyre, so surely something like
Super Soft Dark Blue
Soft Light Blue
Medium Light Green
Hard Dark Green
All these would be destinguisable surely, or shall i get my coatMystery strikes again!
Which one of you made this lol
