--- Quote from: Top Cat on March 24, 2013, 06:59:40 pm ---I think this year has been ruined by Pirelli. it is not about who is the best driver or who has the fastest car, it is all about which team has the best analysts and Managers. You are going to get situations like today quite often unless they change the tyre deg. What is the point of having no racing and cars doing 95 % of what they are capable of. :stupid: I dont mind the tyres being hard to figure out but when the answer is to just mother them until the end of the race then in my opinion it is carp. :indifferent:

100% Agree!
Give them tyres they can race on!
Do they design there road tyres to work in such a small envelope?

I'm sure Pirelli are doing what's asked of them. Its up to the organisers to request a change if they feel it necessary.
mad_pete:
They are trying to find ways to create speed differences on the track to create overtaking. DRS was one way but the current cars are in danger of being a procession from start to finish because of the aerodynamics.
Janner_Sy:
if you hadnt been able to hear any of the commentary or radio transmissions or complaints about the tyres would you be moaning about it? Th racing is and has been good. They tyre's are a massive contributor to that fact. As Mad_Pete said, because of Aero dynamics being so much a factor in F1 its can be too hard to get close enough to overtake, DRS and tyres allow this to occur and F1 is all the better for it IMO
RedRobin:
.
Seb Vettel beat Webber to the chequered flag on track in fair tooth-n-claw racing, so I don't see why he should apologise to anyone other than in the interests of diplomacy with the Red Bull team management - Which he has done publicly. I was disappointed that he apologised.
To some degree there is a conflict of interests between what drivers want to achive and what teams want to achieve. They both need each other.
Anyway, matters will get discussed behind closed doors at Red Bull.
Hedge:
What was fair about it Robin?
Webber obeys the team order to wind things back and the greedy German steals the win via some reckless overtaking. If that's fair in your book I think it needs a reprint. :fighting:
