    Races like that make me wish that Pirelli were bit more adventurous with their allocations.

    It would be nice if they said they were going to give tyres with the folowing life info:

    Soft: 10-15% of race distance
    Medium 15-25% race distance
    Hard: 20-35% race distance.

    So any combination of the tyres should result in a two stopper minimum. I wouldn't even think they need to use all three compounds.

    Get rid of the rule of having to use two compounds would also make it less predictable.

    Tyre saving needs to go though. Winning a race because of tyre degradation is not good for the sport.

    They should have a wider performance gap per tire.

    They tried this and people complaining about unpredictable conditions.
    I am with the suggestion to allow to use whatever compound you want to use.

    Did fans complain about it or drivers and teams? IIRC they changed tyres back to what they were the year before during one of the Vettel title years 10-13, not sure which, i only know from seeing a season review or similar so dont know what views were at the time

    Maybe back when the cars were a bit more even fans didnt want that, 2012 itself was a year where a few could have won the title I believe, as opposed to now with 6 years of utter dominance by Merc

    But now we're praying every weekend for rain or something to throw a spanner in the works, I'd imagine a lot would be in favour of damn near anything to make things less predictable

    2012 was a great year in F1. One of the classic years. It would be great to get F1 back as exciting as that again. Of course what did they do they went and messed it all up and made it worse. I think it will take something or someone really special to stop Mercedes dominance of the sport

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
