Even the commentators were questioning if Ferrari were tempting disaster.

    The tyres are what they are and they encourage pit stops to try and split up what is often processional racing. If teams try and stretch the advice they are given, they shouldn't let their drivers sulk in front of the cameras and blame the component. Spa is a long lap and known to be hard on tyres due to the amount of high speed corners. Ferrari shouldn't have taken the gamble, especially with the amount of info they already have on these tyres.
    Pirelli clearly stated 40 laps was tyre life, so how could they have ignored Pirelli's advice?
