Very strongly agree with this. I will also add that one of the reasons that the current F1 cars looks so slow on tighter corners is because Pirelli tyres are not good enough.silver wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 15:47Pirelli has no right to continue in F1. Nobody knows which compounds work and which doesn't and which tyre is faster. Bridgestone and Michelin should come back as two suppliers. 12 years is too long to be talking about one single aspect of racing, tyres. Its because of this farce, we see cars slowing down on their warm up laps, causing chaos, either at last corner before starting fast lap or through the warm up lap. The car should come out of the pits with new tyres and should simply go at race speed to start the fast lap without having to worry about baby sitting the tyres.
Formula E is heavy too(so is Indy, for that matter) and runs on very narrow, grooved tyres and they look quite spicy, even on those crappy street tarmacs. I remember comparing WEC´s LMP1s onboard telemetries to F1´s, back in 2015/2016, and despite weighting almost 1000kg and having tyres far more durable, the LMP1s still had higher cornering speeds(even on some random race laps) than the F1´s poles, on the slow corners of Spa, Interlagos, Mexico...
Bridgestone and Michelin would deliver significantly faster tyres to "fix" the problem. Pirelli is only here because they are official partners/sponsors and fill FOM´s pockets full of money.
But, to give Pirelli some credit, at least their Hard tyre (C4) worked great this time around, in terms of wear
