[What's Burning?]

There's a difference between a small hole and a few days tyre testing.

Or using an illegal suspension for half the season? anyway, I'm sure Lotus did it in good faith and asked Charlie if it was okay.

There's a difference between a small hole and a few days tyre testing.

And there is a difference between unintentionally breaking the rules and cynically doing so and trying to hide the strut

But there is absolutely no ambiguity about a rule that says 3 struts only

I thought there was no ambiguity about not being able to test with the current car

Not unless you are Pirelli, then you can test with a 2013 car

The GPDA have warned that the drivers may boycott the race if there are any tyre faliures over the weekend.

Feel sorry for the German fans if this happened, but I wouldnt blame them!

Drivers have said they WILL boycott if the tyres are exploding again.

At the end of the article Button says they followed all pirelli's guidelines.....which suggests they didnt swap them . And they had two failures.
So I guess we watch practise closely for signs of exploding or near exploding tyres.
I wouldn't blame the driver from withdrawing. They take risks anyway, but this one was/ is completely avoidable

[NHcheese]

They actually blamed the teams!

[LewEngBridewell]

Everyone will be watching free practice with bated breath.

Button says in the paper( just read it) that Mclaren did swap over the tyres but it was WITH PIRELLI'S AGREEMENT

Sorry but this Pirelli bunch are just a bunch of f**ktards. Liars trying to cover up their incompetence.

Woah woah woah, calm down jumpy jumpy Merc fans.

I was talking about a small hole in a Sauber not another suspension strut on a Lotus, so why even bring that into my conversation like I was having a go at Merc but defending Lotus, I never even mentioned them...
