Easy on the conspiracy theories there, friend.

Protest over Mercedes' Pirelli tyre test - updated

I can see RB and Ferrari giving it a try, though...

we can see that tires determined this win, not the fastest car and driver.

Been that way for quite some time now...note, also, that Vettel's 1:16 was a good 2.5 sec slower than in qualifying. Everyone could've done faster laps, if the tires lasted. "Tire managament" is the name of the game currently.

Got a few racing years on ya bud and never in 60 yrs. of watching and participating in racing have I seen such crappy tires which determine races. Tires should be down the determination of race winner list of 5th or 6th. Pirellis in F1 this year has been number 1.

Pirelli should be ashamed and sent packing.

As to the private tire test, it is what it is. Nothing else.
