The last part of my comment I think is the kicker. We look at NASCAR, WEC, GT3 racing and see much much longer races. 1.5 hours is tough to create multiple compounds that will make drivers feel comfortable throughout the race.

My proposition is to remove a ton of compounds (wait, hear me out) that we see now. Clearly, designing one tire to degenerate over time is proving tough in a 1.5 hour race setting. Now Pirelli are designing almost 5 different slick compounds, all with varying levels of grip and fall off points. As so heartwrenchingly obvious for Ricciardo fans at Monaco, Lewis went way longer than expected on his compounds.

Ultimately, the point of so many compounds was to give more of an advantage to the overtaking driver to do so without losing to much grip from an aero-push behind the car in front. Making a compound that is reliable but falls off when pushed is great, but when aero-push stalls your progress behind a much slower car, you will wear your tires out.

But as seen, its now turned into a lottery of guessing which tire compound works best for the track and/or the car. There doesn't seem to be consistency even in the teams themselves. Basically, take advantage of a 'broken' tire deg compound then profit.

We NEED to fix the aero-push issue before tire degs form any consistency from a good race and acceptability standpoint. Otherwise regardless of the amount and pretty colors of the tires we get, the faster car stuck behind the slower car will always impact tire degs regardless if it is hard,medium, soft, or super-ultra-unreal-dynamic softs.
