Message: <blockquote data-quote="FB" data-source="post: 3820" data-attributes="member: 120">I may have missed this but does the move to slicks for 2009 mean that the drivers no longer have to use both compounds Bridgestone bring to the race in '09?  It makes sense if the FIA want closer racing that the cars should be fitted with the best tyres to opitimise their speed and, personally, I could never fully understand the reasons behind insisting that both compounds be used.  I suppose the risk was that if one compound looked significantly better than the other and Bridgestone had limited supplies the top teams would have "first dibs".Roll on 2010 when we get rid of pit stops altogether!  Although this begs the question, does this take us back to the "control tyre" situation of 2005?</blockquote>
