MODERATORS
When did we have only 6 cars race on a track since 2005? Please tell me.
I am well aware that the tyres are designed to desires specification of F1 with a certain degredation in mind. I'm not missing anything. No one is under the impression that it's impassible to make longer lasting tyres
Again, only reason that happened was the veto, veto is easy to remove, its a complete non issue. Any team or group of teams trying to veto something on a safety issue of that level in modern F1 isn't going to get very far.
If one or two teams fuck up, thats their problem, if half the grid fucks up, thats the FIAs problem. You must have missed all the complaints about tyre pressures...
Its not even just longer lasting, the tyres deliberatey have a short operating window in the sake of creating false drama, its that the ability of any tyre manufacturer in a series as complicated as F1 to make than predictable and reliable. All too often one of the two race tyres is abysmal. This often makes the race uncompetitive.
The strongest example of this is the quali tyre, it often cannot take a single full lap even after being babied on the outlap, for a full flat out lap. If that isn't completely unacceptable to you, then I am going to call Poes law here.
Veto is not easy to remove. It's in every single teams contract with F1. Far from a non issue. Unless you can wave some magical wand that rewrites contracts.
Additional tyre manufacturers is not a question of safety.
And yes. We've established many times already that tyres are made to F1 specifications. Formula1 wants this "false drama" to create tyre strategies.
Pirelli makes the tyres the way F1 wants them. And tries their best to provide that. Not the other way around. They also get very limited testing with F1 compared to other motorsports where they can pretty much test as much as they need.
