F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


"It's clear that four is too many," admitted Pirelli motorsports director Paul Hembery in Spain after the race. "We'll be looking to make some changes, in time for Silverstone, to make sure that we maintain our target and solve any issues rapidly." That isn't saying Pirelli got anything wrong. Pirelli didn't supply false data to the teams and the tires are performing as they were designed to. They are evolving the tires to be "less aggressive" to satisfy the political aims of the commercial rights holder and the FIA, nothing more. I guess that defines "normalcy" in F1.

F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


Red Bull have spoon-feb this "not racing anymore" cack to the press and they are eating it up! To win you must extract the maximum out of yourself and your package, which includes the tires. That is how you win, by doing this better than the competition. That is how you go faster and further than your competition. It's called racing. If Red Bull and Mercedes can't do this better than Ferrari and Lotus then they have to try harder. They seem to be trying hardest in influencing a rule change more favorable to themselves, they should be embarrassed to be so underhanded as this.

F1 » Pirelli: Tyre change not prompted by teams


The root problem with the tires is two-fold. First, the FIA with the support of the teams will not correct their over-reliance on aero as the sole performance differentiator. They mandate sub-optimized tires to create a false sense of competition by creating unpredictable results. Second: The FIA with the support of the teams do not allow adequate testing for the development of safe and reliable tires. And then they scapegoat Pirelli to misdirect the blame from themselves.
