    Great to see that the coloured tyre compound is big enough to see now on Michelin tyres, but I do wish that there was an industry standard for uniformity of tyre compound colours across motorsport to make less confusing for fans.

      yes, the softer the tire, the higher the grip, temperature buildup, and wear

      It would not benefit to the sport if you look back in time early 2000 when it was the case there was no indication as each team and manufacturer could hide the the strategy so as a viewer you lose all the benefits of the actual colors and graphs that explain the strategy to the viewers plus the tires will be voluntary very hard so they can last the whole gp if the use that strategy so no pit stops anymore because they don’t refuel + some tracks will benefits a lot certains tires and it will make the competition only between the same tire teams because the other one is risking to have a non competitive compound

      Competition in F1 tyres is long gone. There is no point to allow Michelin or Bridgestone in F1, they had their chance and they blew it.

      You can’t compare mate its different cars, different stints and different use here they don’t use the 3 like we want to go fast but to adapt to track temperature and how many hours they want to do for each tire. The tire in F1 are voluntary soft to create drama during the 1h gp

      At least Pirelli has never complained about the costs or threatened to leave F1, they rarely blame teams for incidents while everyone blame them, they get their head down and solve any problem, imo they don't get enough credit.

      Just because Pirelli uses their colors the wrong way around does not mean every other tyre manufacturer has to do it wrong too.
