Im posting this here, because i didnt know where, i dont post technical, because i dont know, also i dont do fan talk because my guy is not racing, and i didnt find a thread, of course if im wrriting it at wrong place excuse me.

About Pirreli, does anyone think that, suddenly, they are out of the talk, somehow tires subject has been debated much less than last year, and do you think this after all is bad for Pirrelli. After all no one is talking about them.

I think it's to early to say. All we know is that after two races they hold up fairly well. The racing in very hot conditions was pretty good. At least they are not still made out of butter.

Yes, the compounds were changed and it appears a more "conservative" approach has been taken considering all the backlash they received last year. However, tires will still be a big factor at certain tracks this year depending how teams and drivers get on with PU management and the overall drivability. I think certain drivers will still do a better job than others (button vs hamilton etc) even though Lewis has seemingly done a better job towards the end of last year and this year compared to his past.

Offtopic; I kinda digged that 'petronas blue' hat of last weekend. More then the all black one, honestly.
I can assume it was just because Malaysia (Petronas Malaysia) was some sort of 'home gp' to them?

Just listened to the BBC 5live Bahrain preview, and Jennie Gow says Nico has a slight foot injury after doing some beach activities. :?
