Don’t skew the situation, When we had that exciting Canadian race people loved it. Pirrellii was asked to replicate that, by the end of 2011, teams were once again completing the races with one stop.

Since […]

I think the biggest problem is this, if he is being honest, that he thinks it’s a safety problem, then it’s ok. But if he has used safety, as an excuse to get the rules changed to how he wants, then that is very […]

that is sportingly equitable amongst the vast majority

So mid season changes to the tyre compounds are to be made.

@hohum

The challenge is to do both of course….

I agree, the delamination problem needs to be fixed though, as it could prove very dangerous.

@robbie

1. Delamination and tire wear are two separate problems. Don’t confuse them.

2. What the teams say is good for the sport isn’t necessarily what’s good for the sport.

3. Neither of us can know […]

@vettel1

By logical deduction it is therefore safe to assume

that they have not given the media an opinion yet, therefore we can not know what side they are on.

@vettel1

if the majority of teams feel that this is an issue that needs addressed, who are we to criticise there judgement?

Please back that one up with links.

@bleeps_and_tweaks

I completely agree. Barcelona is notable in that we have had a similar situation every year. This year wasn’t out of the ordinary as Red Bull’s side are saying.

I haven’t seen any […]

@alec-glen

An analysis of lap times would tell you that Fuel also plays a significant factor. And that by the last stints of the race, the F1 cars were lapping faster. Noting that tyres still were an issue. […]

@alec-glen

Tyres are, being the only contact patch they usually have with the road, (less those that race near Pastor), are a very significant part of the car.

Because taking a flag into the car doesn’t affect the race, the result or the post race weigh in.

Therefor, having investigated the breach, they decided that no action was necessary.

Exactly the same thing, they’d investigate due to the potential for cheating when foreign objects are put in the car, then clear it when it is clear that the flag did not give an unfair advantage.

He can collect a flag.

consistent with a previous decision made under similar circumstances.

Effectively means it will always be the case.

They HAVE to investigate due to foreign objects being taken […]

@fer-no65

picking up flags or stuff like that

That’s a slippery slope I think. :D
The FIA is doing the right thing, Investigate any rule breach but turn a blind eye if no benefit existed that may have […]

@kingshark

Don’t mention that to Horner, he is trying to get the tyres changed to benefit his team. Not sure it’d help his point.

Haha

Nah it’s making up for the time Vettel got Webber’s new wing, Vettel just hasn’t got that “update” yet!

In @celeste defense you need to keep in mind the context of the comment he was replying to I think.

@omarr-pepper

It seems very strange that as a fan of the series you are asking for more self censorship! O.o

@vettel1

What words did he put in whos mouth?
