The problem is the FIA rules. The correct resolution is to allow multiple tyre suppliers and in season testing. The public reason for not allowing this to save costs in basically b******t. Back in the day when money was no object, Ferrari were spending almost as much as everyone put together and still couldn't win! If FIA and Bernie would stop taking gross amounts of money out of the sport for administrative requirements, that would save a lot. Let the teams spend on R&D, please remember that F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport therefore it needs to push the boundaries of what is possible, but to do so safely means ideas needs to be tested.
