It seems like a heat issue more than a kerb issue.

Place your bests for the next failiure: lap 31

There's no supplier in place for 2014 yet. It's going to be interesting to see if Pirelli even bother tendering.

Perhaps we will get Linglongs or WanLi ditchfinders then.

FIA can't force the Tier 1 tyre companies to supply F1.

Extra fuel load putting more stress on the tyres imo, these tyres aren't fit for purpose.

Someone on betfair's forum suggested a 50mph speed limit with average speed cameras around the track

I'll say lap 29

Why would they, at the end of the day the media will ignore the fact that the f1 teams refused the tyre structure change and blame them for poor quality tyres which will affect their sales. This is suicide for there reputation.

Lap 27

Which if that's the case then they've got big problems as there's no way of sorting that really short of not going very fast!

Thank god Pirelli don't make condoms.

would have to keep the friction down

SPARC · 30 Jun 2013 at 13:47

So who's got the odds on the next team to have a tire let go ? I honestly can't believe this has been happening. Kimi was lucky not to get hit on the head with that massive bit of rubber, can't imagine the damage at 190+ that would do

I'm absolutely disgusted that my driver has gone out that way !

I'm sure someone like Hankook or Falken would be more than happy to supply if Pirelli, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Conti etc. all declined to tender.

These tyres were the conservative choice don't forget.

I can't belive they haven't done anything. Like issue a statement no one will run on kerbs (drive though penalty or something), or red flag it.

As if they could be trusted to not run on kerbs and take the speed advantage!

vettel and rosberg are 3 seconds a lap faster!
