Comments on: Firestone Ends The Year On A High Note http://oilpressure.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/firestone-ends-the-year-on-a-high-note/ Speed is Life Fri, 24 May 2013 16:10:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: redcar http://oilpressure.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/firestone-ends-the-year-on-a-high-note/#comment-17809 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:57:00 +0000 https://oilpressure.wordpress.com/?p=11607#comment-17809 Agree. I don’t like the idea of owners and drivers using the “safety card” to nix Continental. Firestone has been awesome, and I’m sure there would have been a learning curve for any new tire company, but I’m also certain safety would have been important for any manufacturer. It seems if it were up to these owners and drivers that nothing would ever change or evolve.

I mean there have been scores of deaths in F1 since pirelli took over.

On a positive note, last year Firestone seemed to get rid of the rocks and produced a tire that actually wore out over the course of a fuel run. More of that please.

Going with another tire manufacturer never entered my mind.

Nevertheless, it is very good for the series’ future that Firestone stay committed.
