F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


sunny. I have no problem with the construction of the tyres, purely the changed compounds. that is where the problem is. I am all for no changes in construction, as (and you agree with me here) the cars were designed to run with the new construction, which replaced Kevlar by steel, and stiffening the sidewalls. but the compound which has already been changed this year, is degrading outside the given parameters. don't forget, the HARDEST compound was acting like the supersoft. mabe Pirelli did not anticipate the different loads on the compound, caused by the stiffer sidewalls? they are now changing compounds, which appears to be the solution. ps congrats on last night........see you tomorrow!

nealio. in a statement on Monday or tuesday, Pirelli did in fact say they got it wrong, saying that fia asked for 2-3 stops. this reminds me too of Ferrari , when Renault were using Michelins with a square tread,they got the Michelins changed. up till then, Renault had been beating Ferrari, but then their fortunes changed

pete. there is nothing apologist about my comment! Pirelli themselves keep saying they got it wrong? are you saying that they are lying? you don't like it because your team has gained from it? well, my favourite team is Ferrari, but that does not preclude me from understanding the tyre situation. rbr are leading wdc and wcc, so they obviously did do their sums right, until Pirelli changed the compound. funny that rbr have had no delaminations whereas others have, so the problem is NOT rbr specific. and as I said, who knows which team will gain from normalisation? my money is on MERC!

f1 rules and dan. thanks for attacking what I say. am I not allowed to express an opinion or state facts? there were no complaints from you a couple of races ago, when Pirelli had to change the tyres for a race, as they were suffering problems from excessive wear. and that played into the hands of Ferrari and lotus. but the changes affected merc, worst of all, or did you not notice? and the fact that Pirelli admit they got it wrong is very relevant. at the end of last year, Pirelli supplied data on the new tyre to all the teams and their cars were designed around this data. but now the tyres are not performing in accord with the supplied data, due to compounds not acting as envisaged. Pirelli are reverting to the spec supplied to the teams. no team got is wrong, they designed to incorrect data. at the moment we are getting a false picture of each cars true performance. who is to say that ferrari or lotus will not gain more from a change? it all speculation!
