As F1 celebrates the end of processional and predictable races, Pirelli has acknowledged that Turkey two weeks ago was one step too far.<\/p>\n
The sport’s new official tyre partner is supplying a more durable hard compound to teams in Spain this weekend, after drivers had to make four pitstops on average at Istanbul Park.<\/p>\n
Some commentators have applauded the spectacle of the new formula, whilst acknowledging that Turkey – as a motor race – was nearly impossible for spectators to follow.<\/p>\n
“We have gone from one extreme to the other,” Red Bull team boss Christian Horner told O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper.<\/p>\n
Agreed Pirelli’s Paul Hembery: “We were caught by surprise in Turkey.\u00a0 Four pitstops is a lot.\u00a0 We are working on two or three.”<\/p>\n
Even if the right balance is found, not everyone is a fan of today’s F1.<\/p>\n
“I miss not being able to squeeze everything out of the car without having to look after the tyres,” admitted Mark Webber.<\/p>\n
Mercedes boss Ross Brawn, however, said it is here to stay.<\/p>\n
“Most teams are already working on their cars for next season based on what (regulations) we have today,” he revealed.<\/p>\n
