Because with these tyres, the drivers was allow too push like hell.
Sadly maybe these are the last times we'll ever hear these words again?Which would kill overtaking again, it would be 99% DRS overtakes.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:Nando wrote:As you say F1 is not an endurance race... so why do you want endurance tires?Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:I miss Bridgestone tyres..

That's DRS, the objective of which was to give an aero advantage to counter the aero disadvantage of dirty air. The Pirellis were made to slow down the car ahead. The car behind will be slowed down by dirty air, no question. The job of Pirelli was to slow down the car ahead (through tyre wear) by a similar amount, to make the overtake possible.@ Lorenzo, you still can't stay behind another in the high speed stuff.
Last corner and T3 had prime examples of it.
That day can't come soon enough.It's early days still, after a few more races they will figure out the tire and THEN the car's strength and and weaknesses will start to come in effect.
Yeah - that's my point. I'm not saying it was the case, but it certainly raises the question - in a big way.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:I'm a ferrari fan and you are right Raymondu. Perez and Alonso was good, but now, it's seems they are the only one who have the right setup for the car this sunday.
