F1 needs better tires full stop. If the cars can get closer together on the racetrack in '22, the tires will still let them down.
@ ENGINE TUNER I could not agree more. This business of forcing Pirelli to make tire that you can't race on is pure BS.

Nobody forced them, they are incapable of making a better tire, that is why their construction is failing regularly.

Pirelli were asked to bring a tire that would make 2 and 3 stop races the best strategy to win, have they accomplished that? No they have not, and that proves that the tire that they provide is the best they can do, and not what they were asked to bring. It is the construction of the tires that are the main problem, not necessarily the compounds.
