Spanish Grand Prix 2013, Barcelona - Race 5/19

They tried to make it interesting with weaker tyres, but it became the opposite of interesting. I'm sure Pirelli could come up with great tyres if that was requested.

You can clearly see it on the track itself. Usually you'd see little tiny balls of rubber slowly building up..but this race you can quite easily see large chunks everywhere.

The tyres are quite simply breaking up.

They are, its shocking. Alright if you had to take care of the tyres its fair enough, but this is just stupid. Also, is this going to be the fifth tyre failure that's been caused by debris?
 
How long after the race will Pirelli blame debris for the delamination?

Just like they've done for the other 5 or so failures in the last couple of races. ;)

This circuit is also one we could do without, it is usually a precession.

Agreed. It's traditionally the worst on the calendar for a good race. All the teams used it for thousands of miles of testing, the cars used to line up Noah's Ark style and then drive round for an hour and a half without anything interesting happening when the weather was good.

Not sure alternating it with Valencia is any better. That's crap as well.
 
Having not watched F1 for a while, what has gone wrong with tyres? There is debris from tyres all over the track, leaving a little lane for the racing line clear. Surely this whole tyre crap is making actual racing worse? Everyone is trying to baby the tyres through the race by backing of the pace and little overtaking for fear of picking up all the turd on the track!
