I say blame Pirelli not the teams/drivers for the poor racing.

The FIA and Bernie asked Pirelli to make tires that degrade quickly. The teams pushed for changes after the Brit GP this year. The tires now are almost what we had last year. Alonso asked Paul Hembrey why they chose the super soft at Korea.

He told Alonso his boss(Alonso's) asked for them!!! Hoping to slow Red Bull down. OOPS! Red Bull are winning on the same tires. Doing a better job. Wanna beat Red Bull - Do a better job with your car. Im liking this year even with the Bulls being so successful. They have earned it!
