Silver and white are too close IMO

Silver and white are too close together from a distance you wont be able to tell them apart.

Same thoughts here, you'd think a tyremaker giant would've considered this petty, yet significant issue.

I think their logic might be that the rules currently say that there has to be a gap between compounds, so you won't see Silver and White at the same track. They might also think that by keeping them close (in terms of color) you will always easily identify the Prime tyre.

Yup that's what I thought too. You won't have the hard and medium (the two hardest compounds) as the two choices on any race weekend, ever.

yeah but even given that fact about the compound gap, from a distance or a person just turned on the tv is that white or silver?

its more logical to have no conflict what so ever, so the viewer knows straight away what is what. Given that doubt can exist then its just plain and simple bad design by Pirelli.

it's not like anyone that wasn't in the *know* regarding F1 would really care. So the casual observer, really would not be affected. Also the broadcaster let you know about 50 times each broadcast.

But I agree, another contrasting color would have been an easy solution.

Yup I agree bad design in the end by Pirelli. When the car is moving even a savy F1 fan won't be able to tell the difference between the medium and hard compound, your just going to get a whitish blur.

But I guess that is what they wanted, a whitish blur to show that the driver is using the harder compound tyre.

Bad design is putting their Pirelli logo on straight instead of curved, or if they were going to keep it straight, then put it at the bottom as a base, and the P ZERO arch on top. The color thing is a non issue.

But again, when the wheel is moving you are just going to get a colour blur.

What they did with the font layout doesn't bother me.

As stated earlier: purple would have been nice.
And I'm not so sure we won't ever see hard and medium together. If the tires go off too quickly as it seems after testing, there might be a couple tracks where they couldn't use any softer tires or they wouldn't last more than 3 laps or somtin'.

They wont be used at the same event. If it's that bad then they'll just pit after 3 laps and switch to primes.

If the regs get changed to allow that I'm sure Pirelli will adjust the colour scheme.

I disagree with you MASSIVELY about this. The straight-aligned Pirelli logo looks bitchin'

Not as nice as we'd probably think. I doubt it'd contrast well. Maybe a very light Purple.

It's unique in the tyre world that's for sure.

We'll agree to massively disagree then! Can we at least agree that they have the best annual promotional calendar?

Oh come on now, we all know Martin will repeat the same technical information for at least 30 laps Well that's what I notice anyway.

I was watching I think the canadian gp 2008 and he kept going on about break dust and finally my wife goes, will he ever shut up about the brakes?


Oh and don't forget, THE ONLY COOLING THESE ENGINES HAVE IS THE AIR FLOWING INTO THEM, THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FANS ANYWHERE ON THE CARS.

yeah, now that you said it like this it makes more practical sense... white-ish blur = harder compound
maybe this was what they were after
