That was what they wanted and it is going to be that way all year
From what I can see, the cars with the great race package and kind to their tyres (Lotus & Ferrari) are going to fight it out this year. Those cars had the best race package much of 2012 too but Kimi was in the first year of comeback and not quite up to it - now he is driving better than I have ever seen him, fast, consistent AND careful.
The tyres were inconsistent last year, good some tracks, bad on others. The RBRs greatest strength (downforce) is going to work against it even more with these deliberately degrading tyres - they will still be the fastest "one lap" car at many tracks but they are going to have to rethink the aero or continue to fall back on race day.
