i wanna see racing. These tyres do not provide that.

Lewis had to sit in 4th all the race because his car - not his intelligence, is hard on the tyres. Lewis did the intelligent thing by sitting at a slow pace in 4th, with a car thats quick enough to challenge the podium. Thats boring...very boring.

"lewis, you need to slow down to preserve the tyres"

Why should the fastest drivers be penalised by having crap tyres. Your argument is ridiculous

what would you rather have bwf -- the coma inducing bore fests of the fuel stop era with cars that were shod with tyres that were more durable than a coffin nail or the tyres that are now a compromise and reward intelligent driving --

we are just unlucky or lucky --- whatever the preference of the individual fan may be that vettel is around and has fully mastered the tyres ,
------- take him out of the equasion and we would have multiple drivers fighting for the title in what would be a brilliant season --

The tyres didnt suit Red Bull at the start of the season. But Raikkonen and Alonso were managing them fine.

Then Red Bull cried mindful that this was prior to the tyre blow outs; and the intelligence of their driver returned <hurrah>

to be fair the tyres probably would have stayed the same but for the silverstone blow outs -
being realistic about it one red bull driver has mastered the tyres and won the wdc and the other did not so it is only fitting the drivers that have come to grips with these tyres should have the greater rewards --

Eden oscar, difference between fast drivers and drivers with better designed cars. Hamilton wodely regarded as the fastest, but doesnt win anythin largely because his car is worse on tyres than the red bull.
