Okay I agree that tyres was always been important every year. But tyres should have been a factor that is equal to any parts or components involved in the cars. Tyres is important, no cars can run without tyres, but remember that engine, aero, suspension, steering, exhaust, and ao many other things should have been involved in producing the best car. Problem is, right now tyres is too dominant factor than other factors.. I might be wrong, I'm not an engineer, and I probably don't have enough understandings on these, but I feel dominant factor on tyres was not correct.
Regarding Bridgestone and Michelin rivalry, I believe it was nothing wrong. It's something normal, it depends on how they use it. It's like how they use the engine. In this situation, I believe was still normal, because tyres were equal importance as engine. As probably any other parts.
But nowadays Pirelli is unpredictable. If one team really do make it really well, I'd say Ferrari and Lotus. But could you explain what's the factor when they did badly in some tracks. Not suitable with the tracks? I don't really think so.. Lotus was bad in Sepang, why??
If we measure well on what the teams or cars could done with those tyres, we will probably still see some consistent results. This is I believe something all you fan don't like to see.. But remember, this is about who do the best job right? From time to time, everybody will know what is the key to solve tyre problems. But tyre problems should have been a consistent to read IF the tyres itself IS CONSISTENT!
I have some faith that Pirelli is somewhere more than producing exciting race with highly degradeable tyres. He might probably playing on their tyres, the consistency of tyres is probably changed in every race, and teams should learn every time. Teams just need to know what pirelli is doing and find the right numbers to do the right thing
