no no, i wasn't talking about the trulli thing. i was referring to the two ferraris and vettel vs. kubica. still lewis didn't give up from starting so far back.

SO basically what your saying is instead of soft and super soft, they run like a medium and super soft.

i actually like that idea. i feel that now it requires more strategy planning on when to use the primes and when to use the options. if the options don't drop off as fast as the primes then why even have the choice? i remember a lot of GPs last year, Ferrari was using the options for two stints.

in a way that's correct. a bigger difference between the prime and option tyres.
