Dont suddenly expect a more races like Canada, that was a one off because of the very specific conditions to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

The tyres have been too hard this year, as we've seen from people doing almost all of a race on one set, so BS have just realised that they might as well just bring the soft and medium compounds to most races from now on as long as they think they wont fall apart. Might give the teams a few more options on strategy, but I'm doubtful that there will be any noticable change.

The tyres OUGHT to be designed to last an entire race distance only and there should be only one compound for all the tracks.

This is supposed to be grand prix racing where drivers are presumed to be the best with ability to not only race quickly but also take care of their equipment.

This is after all what the junior formulae are supposed to sort out.

I reckon Enzo Ferrari would have a few choice words to say over this and probably LEAVE f1 and take his team to go race sports cars instead.
