its all well and good to say tire preservation is a desirable skill set but that argument goes out the window when the rules let drivers who fail to make Q3 start on whatever compound they want to.
in fairness more of the blame lies with the rules makers rather then on Pirelli, but to be honest, how many people really place a priority on tire management when only a small handful of us think the Q3 tire rules are completely ridiculous?
for me having to see top qualifiers pit after only a handful of laps early in the race is further evidence that Pirelli have gotten the balance wrong this year. not so much questioning their philosophy of the tire construction but rather am still questioning its application.
change the Q3 rules, make every compound available at each event, and no rule about using a set of each on race day.
