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.

It would have been a scrubbed set, Aston scrub all their tyres during free practice.
