Soft tyres, hard tyres

[Hugh Jarce]

Watching and lsitening to qualies yesterday, I noted the comments on the usage of soft and hard tyres

As it stands, no one appears to relish using the hard ones and is doing everything to limit the amount of time and laps spent on them.

Stategies are being planned around damage limitation on the time lost while using them.

It's like a certain shirt in my wardrobe - I only wear it when the rest are in the wash and there ain't any other options. I'm not keen on it but it gets a public airing only when circumstances demand.

My take is that the soft and hard compound during the race is a silly old sausage. Let's give them the option to use the fastest compound possible for a given track and conditions.

And, while we're at it - why not slicks (flame bait!)

Any thoughts?
