Sounds like Pirelli are taking these tyres towards dullnessHopefully the FIA will have words.
I don't blame them it was a stupid scenario in the first place. The other tyre companies must be laughing their backsides off. What a way to damage the perception of a brand.
They will tell the FIA where to stick it, besides having these tyres degrade as soon as someone pushes is equally as boring as tyres that will go the distance.
Bring back a tyre war.
just 7/10ths between 7th and 17th so I can understand it a LITTLE compared to previous races. Still ridiculous that he needs that much help though.
Never gonna happen
Dedregation doesn't matter. I don't really care what that is. What they need is a balance between hard and soft compound. So that 1 extra pitstop for soft more or less strips the time out.
But this requires the stupid two compound usage removing.
2 stops for soft or
1 maybe zero stops for hard.
End total time pretty much identical.

It does to Pirelli when their competing brands have started using it against them in advertising campaigns.
I wasn't talking about that, I'm talking about in race.
Amount of dedregation makes no difference. Be it high or low. What matters is the balance between different compounds. But the use two compound rule kills 95% of tyre strategy regardless of that balance.
Hamilton can beat Button without a problem most of the time
On a dry track...yes (most of the time).
On a wet track...no (most of the time).
Button is a not a chump, in the same way that Heikki was. Heikki was at McLaren for 1 reason - to ensure Hamilton doesn't get beat and to ensure Hamilton looks good.
Heikki is now at a team which is basically at the back of the grid...and for good reason.
You cannot compare Button/Alonso with Heikki.
Has this been done?
Are there any examples of online adverts with degradation being used again Pirelli?
They mentioned it on the coverage earlier, one of the other Italian manufacturers have been using it in their adverts which has prompted Pirelli into making tyres that will last longer (The primes here will do 100 laps so they say)

A great shame to hear Brundle saying the Pirellis are becoming more like the Bridgestones with each race

Doesn't seem to do them much good.
Compare this races performances with the FEE to last race without the FEE.
It's a big boost for them.
Then perhaps they'll sort out the real problem. Can't believe that the 2014 rules aren't restricting aero more than they are. We need more mechanical grip and less aero.
