    Im happy we have stability but lets see in the performance end of it if these items are achieved.

    We waited years for a racing tire to be prescribed LOL! Finally I guess..........

    Pirelli does the job exactly as required. Tire degradation is an F.I.A. mandate for race strategy. Pirelli is just asking for clarification based on driver preferences.

    Do you want a tire that lasts an entire race with drivers going flat out and no pit stop? I guess I'm one of the few who prefer seeing the various team tire choices as crews change all 4 tires in 3 seconds, as well as watching re-entry with fresh tires trying to beat another driver for position. I'm one of the few who will miss that.

    New tracks have sharp kerbs that puncture tires. Baku is removing several kerbs to replace with paint.

    Yes. That is exactly what I want. A Grand Prix race should be won or lost on the track, not by some contrived pit stop drama.
