"I think there are good and bad points, to be honest," the Brazilian commented, "On the one hand, people want to see some overtaking, which is fair. We all want to see that, but the problem is that I think
Formula One could become quite boring. People will invent a car that has a big tank again, and whoever stays on the track gains the advantage of that one pit-stop.
"I think, at the end of the day, it will become a little bit too much like IndyCars or something like that - which is fine, but I think Formula One is about the competitiveness of what's going on on the track."
Barrichello related something close to de la Rosa's experiences on cold tyres, and suggested that certain events could be particularly badly affected.
"I've also raced throughout my whole career without tyre blankets, but I never saw something like this," he recalled, "You go out of the pits and you already have a chance to spin out of the garage. When you get to the first corner, it's like an ice rink, If you get conditions like we've had at Nürburgring in the past - or any race that is very cold and we take the wrong tyres - it's going to be very, very dangerous."
