What a thinly veiled warning, sublime and effective (it'd better be!)

[The Second Coming]

Did Pirelli claim that? More degradation? I hope not....but don't mess with the operating window, if it takes some brains and skill in knowing how to get the tyre up to OP temperature and keeping it there, then by all means don't mess with it Pirelli.

Yep, sure did.

Paul Hembery/Source: GPUpdate.net:
A dramatic start to the 2012 campaign saw seven different winners from the first seven races, with the unpredictability being heavily attributed to Pirelli's new rubber. However, as the season wore on and data was gathered at various circuits, Hembery said teams were able to understand the differences and 'dominate the situation'.

When asked by GPUpdate.net if increased degradation and wider operating windows are expected in 2013, Hembery replied: "That’s pretty much it. There’s a more rapid warm-up and more temperature going into the tyres, basically because they are working harder and because we’ll have a bigger footprint in cornering.

"With the changes we’re making to the compounds we’re trying to bring back some degradation levels, because quite frankly at the end of the season we were in negative degradation and maybe not where we were asked to be. We were maybe repeating some races from the past where we were down to one pit-stop and I’m not going to say it was too easy, but teams were dominating the situation."

Sniff, sniff...smell that? That's Jenson crapping his knickers.

I'm just saying...

Jenson would like the higher degradation, would be more like the 2011 season.

[What's Burning?]

Jenson would like the higher degradation, would be more like the 2011 season.

2011? Where Vettel won the WDC by a 122 point margin and single handedly outscored 10 of the 12 teams on the grid?

Im talking in regards to Jensons issues with tyres in 2012 in comparison to him finishing 2nd in the title fight in 2011.... Redbulls performance is irrelevant!
One could argue their dominance and lack there of in 2012 had more to do with the EBD than anything tyre related.

Maybe McLaren have Gillette as sponsors to force Button to keep shaving himself before he ends up looking like this.
