Jaime Alguersuari asserts that current tires do they not piloten 100 %


Revealing statements that Jaime alguersuari made Monday night in brand engine with a good question of Andy Soucek. Barcelona's pilot acknowledged that Pirelli tyres are so delicate that the pilots can only be 70 or 80% of his leadership. As soon as you're being aggressive, the degradation is such that you can to terminate benefits of that game.
For this reason, the Toro Rosso driver said to regulate the single-seat, seeking to be pedals already that if by contrast the car goes well back, degradation play against the pilot. Here is where Jaime Alguersuari recognizes that he's wrong this season and their tactic work us. In the two recent Grands Prix, Alguersuari has made one stop more than planned in his tactics.
It is clear that this very well see that in the current formula one tires of play a fundamental role in the face of the spectacle, but see how pilots are far from giving the best of themselves is serious enough to think that not everything is gold that glitters. The best pilots, with the best cars and better tyres. In those three things, one being ignored and another appears to not be 100% certain. Already is football not what it was I'd say Audi?.

The Pirelli tires loose much rubber


During the offseason, Paul Di Resta warned that the large amount of rubber that release the new Pirelli tyres could be a problem in advance and leave out the "lane". After two races, the Scottish driver complaints continue, but now the problem is not advancing, but the impact thereof. Of Pirelli tyre rubber chips become projectiles impacting with the pilot.
When it reaches the end of the race is hard to beat. The most important thing was that they were coming to me and hitting me in the hands. In the middle of the fast corners, such piece of rubber beat me to it rotated the wheel
But far from being a complaint of one pilot in particular, in this same sense spoke FC of the world. Sebastian Vettel has also warned that during the race, these pieces of rubber are like bullets that propels the car against the pilot. The German goes beyond and warns that it might be a problem for Grands Prix in which the public is very cerda of the track.
Pirelli-side there for the moment no statement. Moreover, Paul Hembery has acknowledged that it has not been informed of any kind of complaint in this regard by the pilots.
I have not spoken with the top three, but if it's a problem, we will have to deal with it. There was a lot of overtaking. We will have to analyze all the maneuvers but chips have to go somewhere and it is difficult for us

Red Bull: rain, incognito, tires, lottery


Michael Schumacher has said, Malaysia is going to be a lottery. And in Red Bull firmly believe in it, and if not that is to say Christian Horner, who said that the tires will be the key. Nothing new because they are unknown in wet, except for the test of Abu Dhabi in which Pedro de la Rosa try the Pirelli in terms of false wet. Nothing to do at all, with the tromba us we can expect to fall at Sepang on Sunday.
We all have it rains to seas, but What if this is not the case? Maybe by a casual (rare) the race is dry. Then we would have problems from abrasion that we have already commented on the analysis of the circuit. But it can also be a condition of intermittent rain. For Horner, would be in a few words a revelation.

The key will be in Mount tires right at the right time. No matter that you conditions there. Luckily we classify well, and that it can translate into points
Excess of confidence or realism, the truth is that if Red Bull qualifies as in Australia has assured that can lead to a proof that almost 100% sure will be complicated. After booting the free first will be how weather conditions affect the temperature of the wheels, especially "in the fast corners" admits Horner. And it is a strong point of Red Bull are the combined high speed. If the tyres don't work optimal there, things are comprimirian.
And we add to this that there could be surprises in qualifying on Saturday (last year was a fiasco with Ferrari for example), or that there is a crazy race, as lately in Sepang, without going further, at Korea.

Jenson Button: "Lorenzo's I think we see greater degradation of the tires"


Approaching the Grand Prize of Malaysia and thereby pilots begin to give their first impressions about the event. To do not vary again make an appearance one of the recurring themes in this beginning of season, Pirelli tyres and their alleged high degradation. I say supposed because in the Grand Prize of Australia his good behaviour surprised everyone, and even some dared to go to a one-stop.
In Sepang, Jenson Button hopes to increased wear of the tires that in Albert Park. English wields the most abrasive asphalt and its high temperature as two factors that will influence enough wear and tear on the compounds. Two details which, in his opinion, will have much to do in the endurance of the tires in the Malaysian event.
Button justified his reasoning:
In Sepang it will be much more heat, with higher temperatures of the asphalt, perhaps as high as 45 ° C, and the asphalt is very abrasive, especially compared with Albert Park, which is very smooth. Sepang requires much stability at high speed of the tyre. All of these factors will make more delicate management of tires, and I think that there will be a further degradation and more stops. In terms of wear and durability, Sepang is located in the middle of the table.
The director of Pirelli Motorsport, Paul Hembery, takes a view similar to the McLaren driver; He has predicted four stops of media at Malaysia. Then will come an unconscious as Sergio Perez and pull away so much pessimism with regard to length of the compuestos…
