Hembery's statement does raise the question what would happen if one team would dominate on the current tyres.Nando wrote:Hembery: Pirelli open to change tyre philosophy if Formula 1 teams want it
I rest my case.We were asked to come up with a certain approach, and that was agreed with teams," Hembery said. "The leader for the teams' views was actually Ross [Brawn], and he told us that Canada 2010 was the model they wanted and that is what we worked on.
"What do we want? One car to disappear into the distance? The public turned away from the sport when that happened, so there was a very clear decision made by the sport to address the racing.

And michael schumacher did start this off but even martin brundle said the tyres this year a affecting the race a bit too much.
i'm being fair in my opinion and realistic, pirelli have done a good job spicing up the racing but i think they've gone a bit too far this year with the tyres that drop off quicker and work in a limited window. Maybe the situation was worse because they hadn't raced at bahrain the year before but wait til another team suffers badly. i think it's right to make the rear tyres more durable with drivers wanted for this year but beacuse last year tyre performance between the compounds were quite big the stratergies were more settled but this year the cars and tyres are more closer which means if the tyres are more like last year you could play around and say few more laps on this tyre because of the guy who you are fighting or maybe pit early for clean air etc and like they are doing in the next race having a gap tyre, soft and hard which is interesting. but back to michaels comment if your not in that small window you won't perform and will hurt the tyres faster then need to either drive slower or pit, in bahrain merc and mclaren were nearly a second off (maybe a lot less but) red bull and lotus race pace and that was due to them not making the tyres work, so maybe if you get it wrong thats your race decided. I'm sure after a few more races if it settles down and the teams get on top of it then the rest will be history, if the teams are still struggling then i think we'll hear more, and pirelli might have to accept they've done wrong and change, it's their 2nd year so they still learning, but on a personal note i think if the drivers can push to catch or fight with the drivers infront of them longer it will be more exciting, cause now push a bit in clean or worse dirty air then like kimi he couldn't pass vettel and if he had a bit more from the tyres he could've have won and lotus is good on its tyres. lets see how the races go.
Thanks for the quote but who is being quoted?MSC07-JCGX wrote:i'm being fair in my opinion and realistic, pirelli have done a good job spicing up the racing but i think they've gone a bit too far this year with the tyres that drop off quicker and work in a limited window.

I found the problem...When they talked to the Pirelli guy on Windsors Flying Lap in GPWEEK mag..they create a sea of marbles off line which is where people could possibly go to overtake
As it stands, the Pirellis do absolutely nothing but completely discourage racing on the track.
