What a load o crap F1 is becoming. An expensive load of crap on top of that.

Not sure I'm with St.D or you on this one. I can understand why you dislike the "artificial" aspect of this, however F1 must change and adapt and has not been a tyre endurance race for decades (that one off year in '05 excluded). More to the point, a "super soft" that lasts 20-30 laps doesn't do what it says on the tin.

As I've said before (and will no doubt be boring and repeat this many more times) my ideal F1 tyre rules do not mandate a set number of stops, but offer tyres of sufficient difference that a hard can do an entire race if driven carefully and a super soft that can only manage a handful but is massively faster and let the drivers choose to go long and smooth or flat out and pit 2 or 3 times to make the distance.
