F1 » Horner welcomes Pirelli announcement


rob. the tyres last year bear no relationship to the disintegrating tyres of this year. if you remember last year, the only team saying they could not get the tyres to work was merc, and since they started up, they have said the same. but last year, there was a distinct cliff but cars could manage it fairly well, so I had no problems with them. this year is totally different. have a look at all the informed comments from teams, drivers, etc. when tyres are going off after two laps, nobody with an interest in racing would condone that. Pirelli have said what fia mandated, and have also admitted that they failed. even Ferrari had to have four stops to try and preserve the tyres. (Alonso said he was driing at 90% to preserve tyres) to me, that aint racing. if you like it, then you must disagree with Pirelli, fia, ecclestone et al. oh, and by the way, despite what you say, look at who is leading wdc and wcc. not too bad at managing their tyres, are they?

morgan. yes marko and mateschitz may have been quoted about the tyres, but brawn and whitmarsh have also made comments, as have drivers, past champions, pundits, ecclestone etc etc. even Pirelli themselves have said that they it wrong so where is the point in singling one team out for abuse? Pirelli state that red bull have NOT complained to them. do you not believe him? remember last year when Ferrari were saying the tyres didn't suit them? there was not the same amount of vitriol then, was there? McLaren are currently coming in for abuse and I defend them too. if somebody does not like a team for whatever reason, that is their prerogative, but I don't see any need for such abuse and false comments, do you?

F1 » Mateschitz: F1 'not racing any more'


f1 rules. so what? isn't that what a forum is for? DEBATE! and why should I not "defend" red bull? the haters of the team keep posting inaccurate comments without trying to ascertain the truth. and I would defend any team against the knockers. I defend Ferrari, McLaren and even merc (at times) now, have you actually got anything to add to the debate?

F1 » Mateschitz: F1 'not racing any more'


joe. in case you hadn't noticed, rbr have WON using these tyres. mateschitz is certainly not whining. he is stating pure fact. the current tyres have destroyed any possibility of a RACE. and the cars, to preserve tyres, were lapping slower than gp2 cars on the same day! is that what you want from the pinnacle of motorsport?

john bb. do you really read the statements and other sites? if so, you will note a number of things....rbr never approached Pirelli. rbr have actually won races with these tyres. merc stands to gain the most from the change. macca will also gain. Pirelli admitted that they got it wrong. fia stated that the wear exceeded their requirements etc etc still, its obvious that you don't like rbr and will blame them anyway

F1 » Pirelli confirms changes for Canada


mr fill. I haven't come across those comments, but they appear to be a bit spurious. it is only the COMPOUNDS that are being changed. a bit like using a hard tyre instead of a soft. so why on earth would changes be necessary? apart from that, if the compounds were left unchanged, if what you are saying is true, then to catch up, merc, macca, rbr etc would all have to carry out the mods, to try and be competitive. interesting that Pirelli use a lotus chassis for testing, so it is no wonder that lotus have not really been affected by the disintegrating compounds.

rob. have a read of the Pirelli statement. they state that rbr NEVER approached them to change the tyres. further, they say that the change is all to do with their image, and they had got it wrong. they also blame track debris for the delaminations, so I presume that they do not envisage any debris on the track. a tyre should be capable of resisting such cuts, after all, last years tyres managed ok, as did tyres from other manufacturers in the past
