Pirelli's or DRS

[Daniel]

Okay, I can sort of deal with DRS................but once again , I scream what is the deal with the tires???????????????????????????

Okay, I know Pirrelli is doing an excellent job of producing tires, with huge differences in time per lap, and jumbling up results almost at random, causing strategy issues where Fred goes from 1st at the one-third point to a very distant fourth, where a car with a fresh pair of softs makes another driver who was leading the race, look like he is now incompetent and should be doing NASCAR..............

But should that really be the standard, where rubber randomness and tire strategy is the key to winning???????

Whatever criticisms are levelled at Pirelli, the FIA made them do it

To be fair though the 4 fastest cars finished in the top 4.

It looked like Fernando's car wouldn't work as well on the harder tyres as it did on the softs. While the Red Bulls and Mclarens didn't appear to have the same problems.

Could do with DRS on the A19!

To require DRS you need to have some downforce to lose.

[Mark]

The D in DRS doesn't stand for downforce.

It stands for Drag Queen.

[Daniel]

It stands for Drag Queen.

Yes, but it's the downforce that produces the drag.

Make that 5th.

[ioan]

Yes, but it's the downforce that produces the drag.

Not always. Take the tires for example they produce no downforce but do account for most of the drag.

it's the downforce that is producing the drag that they're reducing
