Quote:
I just find it ironic that Pirelli is taking it up the backside from the teams, drivers and general public, for this problem, in light of the fact that they wanted to make a change for this race that might likely have prevented it and were prevented from doing so by the teams. And, the FIA reprimands them for a tire test that they ran to work on the safety of their product, as used, then 10 days later thinks more testing is a great idea.

That is why F1 is often referred to as a circus!
Fact is the FIA and Bernie lack the clout to persuade the teams to assimilate. Hammer and anvil!
This wouldn't have happened (and didn't) back when Max & Bernie were running the show. Not that I believe that was a good duo for F1 but they got things done. With exception of Indy in 06?
If Bernie was in his prime he'd of conceived of a way to get this/or have prevented this from occurring. Bringing in a 2nd tire manufacture or even the threat/rumor etc.
F1 politics = the way of the world. Stupid and selfish. Nothing new really. Sigh
