I'd always thought of tyres,brakes,clutches,fluids as being "consumable" parts of a vehicle which needn't be replaced with a part of the same brand.Sure Ferrari can win on Bridgestones but can it do it on Michelins as well,that surely would be an interesting challenge,development would continue as the teams would get to choose which make of tyre to use at each event,you could even have a tyre constructors championship or a brake constructors championship,eventually you will end up with everyone using the same consumables unless of course the competition pulls its finger out.
