Did you forget the first part of the race? Vettel was catching Hamilton by one second a lap after he switched to the supersofts. That is new tires vs old. Ferrari got caught out a bit by VSC ending when it did. Only 3 out of 19 finishers attempted one stop strategies today.

You want to change the races up? Allow for refueling.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I made reference to the shelf life of tires and tires not dropping off fast enough. Nor did I even specifically reference the race today. I think it is obvious that there is some performance lost over time on a tire and that different compounds will be faster from time to time. It just seems to me that too often recently the best strategy is to keep the tires put longer. In Spain it was thought for sure a two stopper would be fastest and clearly wasn't.

Watching guys conserve tires is boring.

I was reiterating basically exactly what fuzz said.
