I just hope for next year, they go completely in the opposite direction regarding tyres, whether if Pirelli get a new contract or not.
I'd like to see someone trying an overtake going through the marbles. From the looks of things, we'll see a track full of them halfway through.

Variations of these words for this weekend seems to be so far disintegrated and delaminated . I disliked these tyres since the start, I think they are anti-racing personally. They are lucky with regulations implementing DRS and KERS, otherwise we would get processional races with drivers crusing around in my opinion to a slow delta time. The things have Pirelli have helped is pecking order around top teams / drivers a bit unpredictable as things are so temperature sensitive and probably helped safety in a way as drivers are going a lot slower and physically and mentally are being pushed a lot less.I'm just tired of everything being dominated by the rubber. If I was sad and anal enough I'd sit and count how many times "tyres", "wear" or variations of those words were used over the race weekend, both by the TV crew and the F1 circus.
But the biggest issue actually just may be Pirelli and their tire choices. There's no rhyme or reason to their selections. I mean, softs, seriously? They knew it was going to be colder than usual.
You think Vettel is sandbagging?
And did you see those speed trap times from Sauber?

It's either journalists who are interested in milking the story as much as possible, or Bernie thinking any publicity is good publicity, or both.Interesting tidbit

Some editor got force-fed the story multiple times from other news outlets and now thinks it's the biggest confrontation in F1 in years. That's why it made it into the paper.You misunderstand.
Fuel issue is not too bad I think, only becomes a big problem like last race if team gets it quite wrong.Obviously the problem of dirty air hasn't gone away and likely never will in F1 racing but I do think they've gone too far in purposely making the tyres wear to improve the show. They just need to ease it back a few notches so tyres are wearing but only if you absolutely hammer them. They shouldn't be destroying themselves after 10 regular fast laps.
It's just too dominating right now and I think the drivers are actually getting really tired of it as well, I've seen Webber strongly hint at it a few times at least, and a few others. We want to see racing, even if we don't see passing. Not drivers mollycoddling the cars for 75% of the race.
The other issue that is denying us racing is under-fueling although I'm not really sure what solution there could be for that. The FIA can't tell them how much they have to put in because each car will have a different MPG, tank size etc.
Jenson Button"You would say that that tyre is more the feeling that we've had in the winter than at the first few races. So it's extreme degradation and from a tyre that's doing a 1:35 in qualifying spec, after eight laps in the race it is doing a 1:48. That's a big difference and we're slower than a GP2 car by about five seconds - that's strange to see and I think it's too much degradation."
I'm so tired of all the Webber/Vettel talk. The media just need to give up already, but of course they won't.
Don't worry the Bahrain talk that has somewhat started and probably will go into full swing will be back! So now you can look forward to being even further annoyed, oh BOY.
I was thinking earlier that I can't wait until we get the "Should we go to Korea" discussions, especially if things there escalate as we get nearer the time. I didn't realise the Bahrain dilemma was still a thing.
I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. I hope no Grand Prix are cancelled, although the well being of the country and it's people comes first.
It must have been embarrassing for Perez this afternoon when he put his car in the wall after the flag had dropped in P1. Such a silly mistake to make coming into the pits.
Please explain.although the well being of the country and it's people comes first.
Why is that stupid gravel there anyway? It's not like it's gonna help anything in an accident. They need to get rid of it! bad memories.
Please explain.
And holding the grand prix here will kill people?The lives of the people in the country are more important than an F1 race.
