interesting choice the teams make when a new tire comes into play
only the smaller teams choose the bridgestone when it came out
and maclaren only having seen how good they are choose them (my fav moment in GP history when D.hill overtook Schuey at hungury easyily and racing)
which makes me think williams are using michelin because of BMW pressure rather than sense
wot if they are worse?
quite likely, then they would be mid grid or even rear end.
the top teams need to be tires to beproven first, to much is at stake
williams are therefore stupid.
small teams can take the gamble easier. less to lose more to gain.
i agree that more "slicks" will be used this year.
as the rules are now layed out and no one got told off, so nearly slicks will be used in the race.
the initail grip the tires gives when new still makes them better when new, apparently, but only in qualifying.
and teams have been saying they only last a lap if that!
