You make an excellent point with this statement. No dispute about that. The F1 teams should be looking at themselves for much of this, as they had a chance to mitigate the issue, but could not come to terms on the tire change. F1 politics at its best.

Ultimately, however, it was Pirelli's tire design that seems not quite up to the task. I'm reminded of the Indy debacle nearly a decade ago.
