are some teams not partly to blame? Pirelli wanted to change them didn't they? But after Merc test, the teams didn't want the alternative tyre.this is dangerous.

Yes Lotus, SFI if i remember correctly. Now It doesn't matter what teams will say they have to change tires for Safety reasons

Pirelli didn't change them? I thought they did. Didn't they say that they have changed back to Kevlar belts now?

Either way their tyres are a joke, can't even withstand a couple of rougher kerbs.

nice pass Lewis

I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but I don't think we know all the data behind those punctures. So we are not in place to judge imho.

But all in all something must be done with tires. This save the tires with all costs nonsense isn't F1 racing. It's more like endurance stuff. Let the guys race with all their talent ffs.

i'm not sure what the data says. however, they should be able to workout a safe range for tyres and there are too many punctures for this to be chance.

Finally... It's always bad to clap after a retirement but this will do a lot towards the end of this season.. Allthou, i think he could've parked that car somewhere else..

could hamilton stay out? others will box

Oh goody. Bad luck Vettel, but it evens out in the end.

All this does, is dangle a carrot in front of all the finger haters

Totally agreed. Tires shouldn't break up like that no matter what the reason.

Most likely will stay out. Hes on primes and he just pitted couple laps ago.

are any others in front of him due to pit?

Bummer Vettel but this is good for championship battle. Nico to win the race, that's good. I like the guy. Nothing that comes out from Keke can't be bad.
