Webber has pretty much said 'They're very good but Bridgestone lasted longer, were more predictable and provided more grip'. :/

Since that is what Pirelli were asked to do I doubt they'll mind. The teams and fans wanted tyres that were not as good and they've done it. Thats why everyone keeps mentioning that they have done what we asked becuase potentially people might think Pirelli rubber is actually crap when it isnt.

This isn't going to please Pirelli, whilst they've achieved their brief of more exciting tyres I don't think they'll be pleased to hear them described as having less grip.

You'd expect a less durable softer tyre to provide more grip, not less.

A driver is always going to favour a tyre that he's performed better with. What matters is that racing is better now than previous years, due to the tyres which everyone is recognising.

We've already had a thread explaining how tyre performance in F1 makes little negligible to no difference to the consumer.

I wonder if there'll be anymore Rosberg/Perez incidents during the race? I wouldn't wish it on anyone but that part of the circuit looks a bit of time bomb.

If there's a Rosberg/Perez incident during race something will have gone truly, awfully wrong. Presumably Rosberg will have to take some kind of hideous wrong turning first.
 
Monacos usually good for Martin finding a dumb bimbo who knows nowt about F1 to interview.

Already seen Geri Halliwell and Lewis's missus there this weekend so they are favourites :p

They were asked to make tyres that didn't last as long. Typically you would expect such tyres to produce more grip as a trade off - the fact they also seem to provide less grip than Bridgestone got out of a longer lasting compound isn't exactly the sort of thing i'd imagine they want publicised.

I'm well aware of what they were asked to do and i'm pretty sure 'less grip' wasn't part of it.
