I am totally shocked and annoyed!!
FIA need to view their contract with Pirelli, its a simple piss take, even after their 1000km tyre test with Mercedes.
Burning rubber hit Kimi directly at his helmet and was in his cockpit at about 180mph.....
Massa crashed out at 145mph,He could have been going MUCH faster....
Sebastian's right rear was split when he made his pit stop! thankfully he came in just in time, still feeling really upset from Sebastian loosing 5th gear and ruining his gearbox
ruined his race at first i thought it was a sensor issue with the gearbox as it seemed like he had all the gears, but that 5th gear ruined the gearbox. Really very annoyed, but looking forward to my home Grand Prix next week
Sebastian will pick up some good points there.
Back to the tyre issue, is it tyre deg? are they overheating?
Sebastian normally runs 16 to 18 PSI but due the tyre problems their Pirelli tyre suggested to add 2 more PSI, the high pressure had a effect on traction and it effected his lap times....
It has to be Tyre deg or serious overheating. Normally tyre deg is easily monitored but something was SERIOUS wrong and Pirelli need a serious sit down!
Or.... Turn 4 and 5 Kerbs seemed to "RAZOR SHARP" Apparently, maybe that's the issue? but we saw other drivers hitting turns 4 and 5 without any issue... unless Bernie Ecclestone has installed Gremlins in the teams he doesn't favour haha!
Paul Hembery-PIRELLI motorsport boss isn't happy at all and has taken samples back to the lab for serious reviewing before the German Grand Prix,Bernie has given him a bit of a "telling off" that'll make no difference....
Let's see what happens....
