The biggest problem we had last year Fernando Alonso and Ferrari on the track was the lack ofgrip with the hard tires. The main reason was the absence of the red car downforce, causing them to suffer a lot with less grip compounds.Meanwhile, Red Bull, with its exhaust blowertechnology, among other reasons, became softbecause the drives in the car hit the ground without too much wear them. And in 2011 thedifference between the softest and the hardestand could surpass the second half. But that is history ...

Yesterday there were Pirelli tires for this season2012 and the biggest news is that the differencebetween compounds will be less: now drives will be softer so that the ones who do not change arethe super, the compound that best going toFerrari and between them there will be no more than eight tenths of a difference.

That margin is still very large, but will causegreater equality between the teams, as the best inaerodynamics will have an advantage as large aslast year. Now it remains to see how the cars will be this season, but the tires promise more show and overtaking. Pirelli has been fulfilled.
