Wrong to say that we never hear the results of forensic checks - we actually often do but I'll agree that we don't always hear the results. First time using the super softs at Sandown and by & large they seemed to work OK.
Blow a tyre at the wrong place on a circuit, lose a car, and maybe lose a person..

Completely agree there are many reasons for a tyre to go down.

The series has built an outstanding driver protection system inside the car, and the one thing that puts them in need of that system are the 4 round black things keeping the car in contact with the road.
