do what the owners of them do. Put a bunch of LED and neon bars on it then drive around the same block 90 times with a smug smirk knowing people are taking pictures of you.

Go to a childrens hospital and offer kids rides in a three-wheeled-AutoBot/Batmobile.
This is what IndyCar and F1 should do. First, extend the rollhoop structure over the driver’s head. Maybe not enclosing the driver as they do in NHRA, but certainly cover the top of the driver’s head (protecting them in flips, against fence posts and walls, and against other airborne cars). Then, extend the cockpit…
2017 headline: F1 announces new series tire supplier, Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation Ltd. of Taiwan...
There are a number of them, like this asshole: http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/pirelli-does-h…
One stops were pretty common back in the V10 era when there were two tire suppliers, and the cars were much faster then, and the tires had to have grooves.
I could see ignorant people jumping to blame Pirelli though. But like you said, it was apparent that they were pushing the limit.
Hopefully F1 doesn’t burn any Bridgestones here
What’s wrong with Pirelli just saying the tires are good for X laps, if you guys want to push beyond that the blow-out is on you. During the race coverage it seemed pretty apparent that Ferrari was taking a big risk with Vettel and it didn’t pay off. Thems the breaks.
I think Hembery said it more succinctly once before: “ They’ve asked us to build a shit tire, we’ve built a shit tire.”
F1 is lucky that they have a tyre supplier. Any person with a brain would see how fucking stupid F1’s tyre specs are. There’s a reason Michelin wants in but only if they can make actual race tyres and not show tyres.
Could be a Good Year for F1 in 2016?
In other words: this is almost certainly Bernie’s fault.
Sometimes you write good articles.
It’s always a huge loss when promising drivers die. Especially from something as senseless as being hit by random debris on the track. There’s been people talking about Indycar’s safety record and how an enclosed cockpit might “ruin” the sport. But I think in open wheel racing, it’s been shown that while the driver is…
Fuck.
No, no, no........ I kept dreading I would have to read this.
