I don't know why people seem to think testing the Pirellis will be an advantae, because there is no advantage to be had. The science behind tyre compounds - polymers - is a delicate and exact one. It is likely that whatever tyres de la Rosa and Heidfeld test on will be different to the final product. Whatever knowledge they have of the tyres will be negated because of the exact composition. The only knowledge they have of the tyres will be in the broadest of strokes. Besides, all drivers will test on the Pirellis at the end of the season, and all of the teams have agreed to an identical relationship with Pirelli to prevent one team from gaining an advantage. There is nothing de la Rosa will be able to tell Alonso that Alonso cannot experience for himself - and experiencing it will be better than simply being told about it. So unless Alonso has suddenly decided that he wants to make his own racing tyres, I doubt there is much de la Rosa would be able to tell him. And even if I'm wrong and de la Rosa will have a massive advantage over the field in 2011, it's believed he is going to be racing for Hispania. Why would he give away his advantage for the sake of someone else?Will Pedro de la Rosa share inside info regarding the Pirelli tyres with Alonso?

Well, my second point still holds weight: what could de la Rosa tell Alonso that Alonso couldn't learn for himself at the post-season tyre test?CT I think they have already signed off the first two specs for Bahrain and are doing the final testing on the wet specs at Paul Ricard next.

That just means the English will have a full year to win it back.Anyway, enjoy it while it lasts. Chances are you're gonna have a full year of Alonso wearing the #1 on the nose of his Ferrari.
