The right response would have been for the teams to work with the tyres within the parameters set by the FIA. For some reason the teams think they are above the FIA. I didn't follow the sport in the 70s (wasn't born) or 80s (too young) but the FISA/FOCA war seems to have ended with the teams and Bernie having too much power. The teams deserved a fair share of the revenue and what not, but the FIA should be the folk determining the rules and regs - in consultation, sure; but the final decision is theirs. |

It looks like Pirelli will get the all clear from the FIA to supply tyres to F1 next year because it is what the teams want.

The fact that we are relying on a tyre maker to 'spice up' the action at all says all we need to know about F1 these days.
Michelin have an interesting ideas on how they would approach F1, perhaps the FIA should revisit multiple tyre supply and see whose ideas work best. On the basis that each supplier has to supply a minimum of 3 teams with exactly the same tyres, no team specific specials. |

Looks like its going to be Pirelli's only for the next 5 years according to Autosport, it just needs final 'i's dotted 't's crossed.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/109752 I think this thread has a few more years in it! |

The teams can still stop this from happening. The question is: Will they?

I'm hardly a Pirelli fan but lately (last two races) I really have nothing to whinge about tyre-wise. So congratulations I guess on the new contract but PLEASE don't F it up with radical changes next year and we'll be OK!
Marbot - Send the bribe money to me care of Tenths. |

Formula E will run the same tyre in wet and dry conditions.
