Could someone please explain something to me?
The new generation Pirelli's are longer lasting as they don't degrade as much from heat built up (at least that's the way I understand it). Now there is fear that we will see too little degradation with many 1-stop races. Indeed we saw Verstappen quite easily manage the race on a set of ultrasofts and supersofts.
So I wonder why didn't Pirelli's make the whole range of tyres one compound softer? Wouldn't that increase degradation?
