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.

Perez said: "It's a big concern for all of us. You see two or three cars every weekend having this problem. There can be a really serious accident."

Also "the teams decide what to do with them.", do you mean they are at fault for just wanting to go as fast as they can ? Isn't this racing ? Isn't this the pinnacle of motorsport ? How can it be ok for the best drivers in the world driving the fastest cars in the world to avoid competing and trying hard just to be able to finish without stopping 5 times for a tyre change ?
