Need to bear in mind that F1 of course use tyre blankets and Pirelli has had the odd issue there too - remember the tyres disintegrating at Silverstone a few years ago?
Phillip Island clearly presents something of a challenge for tyre manufacturers - hopefully for Pirelli lessons learned last time will help this time and the same goes for Dunlop - neither has done a bad job necessarily, it's simply development of the product to suit extreme conditions.
