I'd rather take the word from a good fellow racer who'll be looking after his own arse than a marketing guy who wants to get his company noticed. If we do then change to Maxxis let those who has forked out on Pirellis (like yours truly) run them till they're done and then change. After all isn't this meant to be a way to get people racing as cheaply (not forgetting safely) as possible?
I agree with Nog about the **** taking as this is people's racing next year we're ranting about, but as long as this thread is banter and the serious stuff is discussed through the proper channels then let's extract some more urine in good humour. As for those who just talk a good race, get of your arse and show us instead. |
I hate to correct you but Bridgestone are the only tyre supplier in F1, so no there isn't any competition! Funny that this means that they have a mandated control tyre by the ruling body.
There is absolutely nothing to stop anyone testing what ever tyres they wish outside of a Desmo Due race - the series rules do not apply.
As has been posted elsewhere, the Race Committee are in the process of reviewing the 2010 rules at this time, suggestions are being reviewed in turn as they are received. Now it is expected that the revised rules may well be ready round the end of this month, which gives everyone something like 5 months before the start of the 2010 season to get their machines ready.
