Don't kid yourself. He's paranoid about tires after the British GP. Used to be he's stay out on softs for 12 laps past what Pirelli recommended. Now he's afraid to put softs on with 10 laps to go. He's shown his weakness and other teams need to exploit that.
If he could get such a tire, he's simply try to manage it to ensure a one-stop instead of getting 20+ seconds faster in a two-stop.
TBH, tires are the only thing that keeps F1 interesting at the moment. I don't like that, but the results would be even more predictable with longer life rubber!
