Really? Will he not have his team telling him how much he needs to twiddle with knobs, etc?

Yes they did. The FIA have no control over how any tyre manufacturer makes a tyre with regard to pushing the boundaries on safe construction during a tyre war. A faster tyre will necessarily be of lighter construction (less unsprung weight), and the lighter the better. Fact.

Were you not watching todays race? Which cars finished first, second, third, fourth and fifth?

It's not like Marussia were in with a chance of victory.
