2021 Formula 1 Thread

And yet, starting for Silverstone, Pirelli changed the construction of the 2021 tires yet again, this time particularly in response to the failures.
Dumb article about it here:

And the change has been a big part of Mercedes' return to dominance as the tires seem to work better with their chassis than with the Red Bull.

I hate that the last 3 years of F1 have been mainly a competition as to who can get and keep the tires in their operating window the best, for the longest. That's always a part of racing, but it shouldn't be THE determining factor in almost every race for several seasons.
