Control tyres - a year on.

[Super Tourer]

Back in late October 2003 we ran a 10 Tenths poll on control tyres v tyre war. The vote came out 64% in favour of a tyre war continuing, with 36% favouring a move to control tyres.

Tucked away in a report on www.grandprix.com was the statement that nine out of the ten teams now favour a move to control tyres as soon as possible, this apparently was the feeling at Brazil.

The interesting thing is that in Brazil nine of the 10 teams said they wanted control tyres as soon as possible but Mosley's decision to cancel the F1 Commission planned for the start of December means that the tyre chance is unlikely to happy before January 1 2007

Plenty of water will have flowed under the bridge by 2007, so the above feeling is probably less relevant than it might appear.

But the question is with the move to harder tyres and the removal of tyre stops from the race equation, would you still vote to maintain the tyre war, switch to control tyres or vote for a wait and see how the cars perform under the 2005 regs?
