That's the problem, the only guy who likes the idea, is the guy in charge.Since Pirelli's entry into the sport in 2011, it has provided tyres with a deliberately limited life, with the intention of forcing drivers to make at least two pit stops in each race.
Ecclestone believes this is the right approach to keep the audience interested throughout a grand prix.
I think Hamilton, Vettel, & Alonso, Should really stick it to Bernie & Pirelli Much the same way Stewart & others did back in the late 60's & early 70's. None of them like Pirelli, and frankly the 3 of them together, could force change.bdr529 wrote:F1: Tyre criticism forces bosses to reconsider policy

While an official announcement is yet to be made, Bernie Ecclestone appeared at the Sochi circuit on Sunday ahead of the Russian grand prix with Pirelli CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera.
On the grid, the F1 supremo shook hands with the Italian businessman and declared that a deal is done for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Pirelli had been in competition with French tyre manufacturer Michelin for the contract.
"We are going ahead," Tronchetti Provera confirmed to Italian broadcaster Sky. "We are doing good work, our products are exceptional and appreciated by all."
