That was mostly my reading of the situation, also with safety concerns thrown in. There's more details to come out in the report this week, As Nico also had a blowout, and there was a similar GP2 or GP3 incident but they spotted it on the on-board camera and got the driver to stop, the drivers are concerned. Pirelli shifted the blame to Ferrari which suggested it was mostly their strategy to blame, but if it turns out to be a puncture then it's not really something the teams can stop. The argument comes down to Ferrari: That tyre blew up. Vettel could have died. Pirelli: It's your fault for driving so far. Ferrari: You might have told us that before the race. Your engineer didn't say anything. Pirelli: ...*mumbles* well nobody else tried your strategy. Then a few days later Pirelli: Turns out it wasn't the strategy. It was a puncture. I can see how that might cause a strained relationship to get worse. Relations between the sport's protagonists and Pirelli are poor, with Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso all raising concerns about safety at the last drivers' briefing in Spa. |
