| You don't watch very much F1, do you.Prior to Bridgestone being the sole tire manufacturer in F1, Michelin was in competition with Bridgestone and some teams ran one tire, and some teams ran another tire. There were huge rows about which tire would be best suited for any given track, because on the whole the cars are pretty damned close in terms of performance (without actually being spec engines and chassis, a la that pitiful excuse for open wheel racing we know in the states as the IRL).Tires played a massive role in which cars won which races; is this Michelin going to grain faster than the Bridgestone? Then on high-downforce tracks the teams with the Bridgestones would win. Does the Bridgestone harder compound allow less grip than the Michelin harder compound? Then on tracks with one- or two-stop strategies the Michelin-shod runners would win.In steps the FIA and mandates a single tire manufacturer, under the guise of parity. Okay, fine, you want mechanical grip to be roughly the same for all the cars because you want to actually see some wheel-to-wheel action, Bernie, we get it, but don't pretend that Bridgestone didn't pay up for the rights.All this announcement really is is that Bernie is (once again) demanding too much damned money.Also, about this choice quote: "the trend is towards cost reduction, fuel efficiency, and alternative fuel sources."You're right and you're wrong. Fuel efficiency, yes, cost reduction, sort of but not really, but alternative fuel sources? Sorry-- KERS was a massive bust this year.This is Formula One we're talking about here. Teams should have an unlimited budget and spend however much they want to get the fastest car possible within the rules. Every time one of these "parity rules" gets enacted (mandatory wing regulations, split rear wings, the diffuser debacle, etc) the sport dies a little. |
