Two ex-F1 champions say that the tires are fine, stop whining (source: finnish f1 broadcasters news)
Häkkinen:
- I personally think that racing is show business. For people who watch it, it has to be entertaining racing. If there's a lot of overtakes and interesting pitstops, what could be better than that in this sport?
- You just have to develop a car and driving style that you can take your tires to the end.
Just the quick degradation of tires isn't a reason to change the tires Häkkinen thinks.
- If the tires were blowing up on five different cars during race I would think there's something wrong.
Prost:
- You should remember, that the sport was heavily criticized before when there wasn't enough action in the races. You had plenty of races where the driver led from pole to goal.
- At least now we have a show
Prost thinks it's good for the sport that it's hard to predict the winner even during race, and that there's still no strong champion candinate.
- We're having a long season with a lot of uncertainities. It's the most important thing for the sport
