Grooved tires foul up again. I guess they're deflecting the idea
(justified in my books) that they brought the wrong tires. Thanks Brian

Q. Did you find any problems with Heikki Kovalainen?
HH: Heikki had no problems at all, it was just Lewis. He is a bit severe on
the front tyre.

so the "tyre problems" happened between the seat and the steering wheel, eh?

And which team get ALL Bridgestones main support?

Mind you come to think of it even the tracks change to suit Ferrari.

Last year, Brazil *bumpy circuit suits Mclaren rather than Ferrari* but of
course the track had been recovered to suit Ferrari better...

All the signs of Mad Max showing more support for his favourite Nazi team!

I'm surprised that there can be that much difference between two
drivers' styles around the same corner (particularly a high speed
corner such as that) that has such a significant effect on the tyre
loading.
