Where is the 'race strategy' if you don't stop for fuel or tyres?

If you're advocating for another tyre war, the 05 Indy debacle has thwarted that idea, unless you are thinking in terms of making the tyres last for multiple race distances with a penalty for changing the tyres prematurely.

If you're the sole tyre supplier, then there is no such thing as a 'race distance tyre'.

If Pirelli give Red Bull what they want, don't start complaining about how much Red Bull dominate the season. That car is punishing the current tyres because it has 'too much downforce'. I think we should all be grateful for that.
