A comment appeared the other day under one of our stories \u2013 yes, we see you \u2013 bemoaning the current state of F1, as was their prerogative, and much of it was fair. But there was one suggestion that I disagreed with: the idea of having tyres that a) last a race distance, and b) that drivers \u201ccan push on\u201d.<\/p>\n
The arguments for durable tyres are that this would return F1 to an era of perceived purity, where drivers did not have to worry about \u2018management\u2019 of tyres and were freed up to drive very quickly. In theory, you\u2019d have more drivers pushing each other into making mistakes, and any positional gains would be hard-earned and feel more valuable than the dime-a-dozen passes you get with DRS.<\/p>\n
