I thought Michelin was having second thoughts on 2007?
They could still be in it next season. And I hope so too! |

So no slicks for 2007 after all then?
Lies, and more lies from the FIA. |

Ah, Mosley has lied again. No slicks for 2007. What's next?

Lies?
 A feel there is a misunderstanding here.There were many ideas that some of the 2008 rules could be brought forwards, but it was never said that 2007 would be slicks for certain. Apart from anything else it is best that if there is a single supplier they bring a tyre that isn't completely different and have time to develop a slick. Development must be on hold for any slick until it is perfectly clear what Michelin are doing. And isn't 2008 the perfect time for any change? Unless of course you wish to dramatically increase costs of development and waste when the situation isn't clear. I look forward to the resultant Max can't cut costs thread. A search through the Autosport online archives reveals no lies from Max about slick tyres in 2007. A search trough 10-10ths reveals one thread (other than this one): http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1442211 This doesn't contain a link, but I have checked all Autosport news stories around that date and there is nothing. Importantly these were all suggestions, which it appears have been taken as certainties. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/47919 |

Yes slicks were pinned for 2008..there were talks of bringing it forward though i think...
but with the companies already having spent so much developing different tyres for 2004,05 and then 06 again due to constant rule changes...surely it would be best to keep some stability to reduce the costs. |

I would have thought that that article would be a reason to make people happy!

Hey, I was only half serious when I said they were lies.
 Of course the FIA aren't lieing, but it does seem as though every good change that is mooted, never happens, ad infinitum. |

and why don't these happen? It aint always the FIA's fault. Blaming them for everything makes us look silly and devalues decent objections. I want slicks, I want wider cars and I would change loads of things, but it is clear to me that many things aren't just the FIA's fault.

Fun time would be slicks, gear sticks and no wings, and bring back V10s

Just think, too, Adam, we are getting wider cars, slicks, and standard ECUs in 2008. Such things were cooked up between Ferrari and the FIA in the meetings the others chose not to attend.
Damn that evil duo, planning something most people want. |

Dutton, I think you'll find the FIA are pure evil and killing F1. How else do you explain getting so few entrants for 2008? Enough of this jesting, back to the link. I don't think Ferrari will gain that much of an advantage if they have Bridgestones down the grid. The tyres will be different to this year and I presume that everyone will get a lot of testing. If you are a decent team you can make the change. Williams have managed it. |
