Completely agree with you I have no problem with Pirelli at all as I think they are doing a great job and I would assume that is takes several races at different tracks and different temp range to know how any tires are going to perform,this must be a mammoth task..

The tyres may actually have helped Webber yes. Mind you Watson won helped by serious attrition and it's bloody hard to do that from that far back even with a car that's night and day quicker like say Kimi had in 2005 at Suzuka, and JPM the same year who went from last to 2nd at Hockenheim after he, like Webber had gaffed in qualifying for whatever reason.
