Is it just me that’s noticed that every single shot of every single launch this season has the Pirelli tyres so perfectly aligned? I’m sure Bridgestone didn’t demand this…
8th February 2011, 18:05 at 6:05 pm #159789sw6569ParticipantI have noticed this – but I think Bridgestone did demand the same. Just browsed a few 2010 launches and they all have bridgestone on the top and potenza on the bottom
8th February 2011, 18:31 at 6:31 pm #159790Mouse_NightshirtParticipantI’m sure I saw one with them on the side of the tyre. I would look for it, but that would require effort which I’m rather short of right now!
8th February 2011, 20:25 at 8:25 pm #159791AndrewTannerParticipantSeems like little effort for plenty of publicity!
9th February 2011, 4:39 at 4:39 am #159792GeeMacParticipantI wouldn’t be surprised if they did request that. Anyone rememver that HRT had one of their tyres on backwards at their launch last year (could have been the right rear)?

9th February 2011, 15:07 at 3:07 pm #159795GeeMacParticipantHere’s the picture, one of them is on the wrong way!

9th February 2011, 20:14 at 8:14 pm #159797VettelSMemberI wouldn’t be surprised if Pirelli and Bridgestone demand this, but I’d have thought the teams would want it like that as well.
9th February 2011, 22:42 at 10:42 pm #159798AndrewTannerParticipantIt all looks very neat and tidy. If I was Bridgestone last year I may have been glad of an upturned wheel from HRT!
I don’t know why i’m so harsh on them, they came 11th with no testing…but it’s just so easy.
9th February 2011, 22:57 at 10:57 pm #159799VettelSMemberHispania are a joke. They make the sport look bad. They will never score a single, unless they’re sold to someone who has the funding to do it properly. Unfortunately though, they’ve got Glock- and he’s a damn good driver.
9th February 2011, 23:02 at 11:02 pm #159800daveyParticipantHispania don’t have glock!?!?!? That would be Virgin!

Oops, my bad- I’ve just been reading the Virgin Wikipedia article.
Anyway, all of my other points still stand :D
