Some thoughts...

How about a race with no pit stops?  They want to control costs of F1?  Heck you just reduced your headcount by a factor of 3 or 4.  Plus cost of moving all that extra rubber and fuel :)

Seriously as a part time racer, I would love if the tire companies focussed on making race tires that can go the distance and still perform like they are glued to the pavement :)  Pit stops?  bleh, talk about the least interesting way to win a race... Oh we changed tires .4 seconds faster and won the race...  oooh aren't we clever...  It lets drivers be less aggressive if they think they can wait till a pit stop and beat an opponent by timing a pit stop rather than actually passing them on the track.

Sorry that isn't racing.  Pit stops suck.

They don't. Short tire life intervals contribute to the entertainment value. American Idol. Dancing with the Stars. NASCAR - (racing in generic cars). Formula One - it's all a distracion for the drooling masses while nations wane and banks fail and the politicians get all the money. We are frogs in a cast iron pot and the water is beginning to bubble.

Hi!
    How do very short tire life intervals help advance the sport?
    Now will the championships be won by the pit crews?
