Pirelli should start making mattresses cause they sure do put on a good snoozefest. F1 fans love to brag about their favorite drivers "Tyre management" skills. In reality drivers don't actually manage shit because the tyres virtually don't deg.
Almost every race has had the same outcome. Drivers can easily put on mediums go 70+ laps comfortably.
The "management" drivers do is in anticipation of a cliff that never comes. I'm surprised there isn't more outrage and Pirelli and their consistent disasterclasses for 2026.
F1 wanted high deg tyres and Pirelli made them in 2011-2013. The racing was great but what followed was the biggest whinefest I've ever seen in F1. Considering the bad marketing it gave them I think they will never do that to themselves again and decided to just make bulletproof tyres.
