Though I've been fine with the Pirelli tyres so far, I think things are starting to get ridiculous. Really, they had the balance just right at the end of last year; a good mix of one-to-three stop races in which you got the sense the drivers were actually pushing now and then. This year, it feels like they're only on the limit in qualifying. Disappointing, but maybe we'll get lucky and by the end of the year things will be normal again.

One thing's for certain: F1 has become a multi-million dollar test bed for techniques to preserve tyres. Maybe in five or ten years time when we've got everyday road-cars that are twice as easy on their tyres than today's cars we'll be thankful this whole 'show' happened. :p

I am enjoying the show only because of Lewis. Too bad we cannot see that on the limit stuff from him when in form of his life. Pity.

"show" is the correct word to describe it. That was no racing it was artificial entertainment.
