AFA tire construction goes, I wonder what's different from the tires used at Monaco beyond the obvious compound changes. At Monaco they really jump the curbs. And was it Cataluna where a couple of guys got nearly a foot off the ground?
L. Diffy announces what he hears. He in himself is not the authority on tires and why they failed.

1. I'm not sure Scott is up to speed on current events in F1, at least when I read his initial response. Read it again, it's overly-simplistic viewpoint is what I was questioning.
2. Pirelli used Kevlar belts in last year's tires, as opposed to the steel belts used this year. They wanted to bring Kevlar-belted tires to Silverstone this year but the teams basically blocked them. They changed their bonding method instead, as a next-best alternative. You find it odd that the FIA has now changed it's tune about using a 2013 car for tire testing, or that the teams are *****ing at Pirelli, after blocking Pirelli's move to prevent this exact problem? I do.
3. I have no idea why you mention Leigh, as I didn't bring up anything he said...
