Great points, except everyone has been talking about how **** F1 has become for more than just this season and complained about the tyres for more than just this season. The difference is, you make a rule change, have different tyres, and its a crap year, that is one thing, when it gets WORSE rather than better the next year then once again gets worse rather than better the next year.... there is more complaining because F1 went the wrong way, and instead of moving the right way, has subsequently moved further down a path basically no one wants to see.
As for Ferrari's "aggressive" 4 stop strategy, that is just it, they didn't choose a 4 stop strategy and neither was their race aggressive, they were massively slower than the car could go, under zero pressure and the tyres still dropped off and they still needed to do 4 stops.
A race where Alonso did 4 stops, was ridiculously fast for the whole race because he was doing extra stops and that was an aggressive strategy they CHOSE because that was simply a real option is one thing, doing 4 stops, being slow in between, and being unable to do a 3 stop race means they didn't chose to do a 4 stop, 2 stop and 3 stops weren't an option.
This is the problem, cars are being forced to be both slow and do loads of stops, rather than having the tyres good enough to go hell for leather on a more stops strategy or slower(but still way faster than we're currently getting) 2/3 stop strategys.
