The driver will have to find the best possible strategy by himself.

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.

The disaster of the 2005 United States Grand Prix had nothing to do with the tyre war. No wonder the FIA changed the regulations after standardizing the tyres, allowing the sole tyre supplier to introduce a new compound during the race weekend in case they find out the supplied tyres are unsuitable and could cause an unsafe situation.

Lots of people on here were moaning because the cars had too much downforce. Now that having too much downforce is a bad thing, they're moaning because they can't use all of that downforce.

As the regulations are very restrictive and have more or less standardized major components, the semi-spec aerodynamics are one of the remaining areas in which teams are allowed to do a better job than their opponents. However, with the current tyres doing a better job does not pay off.
