there are plenty of things to complain about with the FIA but last on my list are the tires. I for one am happy that they are not a factor in the race per say and that other things like, "driver skill" determine the outcome of races rather than contrived hurdles.

I think that bridgestone engineers are brilliant in developing their tires and it will be a shame to see them go. I expect a lot of teething problems with pirelli next year and probably the odd controversy.

how sad is it to be complaining about tires that are too good as a detriment to an exciting race. I for one want to see the best cars performing at their best during a race not suffering from extreme and unnecessary tire degradation so the odd fan here and there can get an extra pitstop or watch a driver struggle around.

If you want a better show, I suggest bringing back refueling but mandating that fuel tanks be big enough for no refueling. That would make for different strategies, different pit stops, more overtaking, cars being reeled in at the end of the race, etc.

But tires are the least of my complaints.
