Had a thought during the race yesterday, have the tyres that are being used punishing teams with too high downforce? (if so, good) Merc were in a different league in qualy where grip is of utmost importance but were telling LH to slow in the corners to not overuse the tyre. Ferrari were fast in a straight line, maybe they trimmed it a little.
As for delamination, I saw one car have an issue on 1 tyre. we probably had close to 100 sets of tyres used in the race, a failure rate of <0.5%. Bad set up could have caused it too, don't jump down pirellis throat too fast, they provide the tyres, the teams decide what to do with them.
