Pirelli really need to up their game, too many races this year have been one-stops.

MODERATORS
They have upped their game. A tire that only lasts a couple of laps is a shit tyre, not a better one.
If the only way they can make anything interesting happen is to make the cars pit every couple of laps that's still not good racing imo.

That would be the case if the goal was to reduce total race time, but that is not actually the case. The FIA asks for tyres with a degradation profile, such that one-stop and two-stop strategies are roughly equally appealing to the teams. Pirelli does not deliver on this, since the one-stop is clearly superior on most track at the moment. The fact that low-deg tyres are faster overall, does not change anything in regards to the fact that they aren't meeting their customer's demands.
Yeah when you look at the product the FIA asked for you have to say Pirelli failed to deliver this year. And you can also tell it's a failure due to all the times Pirelli themselves predicted a two-stop would be faster, only for all the teams to go "no no, this was always a clear one-stop" after the race. This has happened multiple times.
True but when the medium has almost the same lifespan as the hard it makes you question what's going on
All reports from the weekend say the hard is the best to be on for the race, unless thereโs a SC itโs a one stop
