Pirelli cannot guarantee giving equal terms to everyone, as cars are already built around these tires. <br />So, for example, if Williams win the title in 2013 due to tire change it will be totally unfair and absolutely compromised. <br />This will be quite simply detrimental to Pirelli's image, and will once again show the real problem - lack of meaningfulKiril Varbanovhttp://f1framework.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-4006227418800246012013-05-14T12:42:29.096+01:002013-05-14T12:42:29.096+01:00I hinted on twitter before the race that the use o...I hinted on twitter before the race that the use of the Medium tyre would be critical at Barcelona. As we know the Lotus is incredibly good on the tyres and this is due to its ability to operate the tyres in a lower temperature window leveraging the grip for a little longer. Kimis choice of 3 Medium and 1 hard stints was due to that cars ability to manage the Medium better.
