The tender for the tires meant that no team was to be given an advantage, and the tires were to be given out randomly to the teams, lottery style.ISLAMATRON wrote:I wonder if other teams have recieved the 2010 tires from BS or is that a luxury only afforded to Ferrari.
180-190kg seems a bit much even for what some consider the very thirsty Ferrari engine.
Why are the teams still adding the 15kg more of ballast when they have already gotten rid of KERS? Especially with the heavy race fuel loads and the smaller tires.
True, but what makes us think that others don't have them as well? I'm sure that with the tyres being narrower, that leave a whole lot more undirected air that has to go somewhere. With the wheel covers banned this will be even more of an issue.ISLAMATRON wrote:From the tire war days the front tires aero profile/shape seemed to be extremely important to the overall aerodynamics... running them in the wind tunnel before anyone else would constitute a large advantage.
