I felt now the balance of car pace/technology vs tire management has swung to another side. In the past we had very durable tires and a very dominant Ferrari.
Now we have very fragile tires and a tire becomes the dictator the race. And a bit random on the race. (Not as bad a random winners in the beginning of 2012)

But don't forget, motor sportis ALWAYS about tires as its one of the most important component and the only part that keeps the car going and the only spot where the car meets the road.

Perhaps for Red Bull, its might be better to switch its focus of sole aerodynamics to how to make the car works better with the given tires. Lotus and Ferrari managed to do so.

In my opinion, everyone got the same tools. Its like a regulation. You make your car works the best with given tools and regulations.
