Pirelli F1 tyres 2012

[ajprice]

The media event is going on now and a few twitters are coming through. They want the new tyres to bring closer racing, dry tyre colour codes are the same, wets and inters are green and blue and branded Cinturato. Their test driver is...

Vitaly Petrov.

That Petrov announcement/not on wednesday was a mess. @grandprixdiary on twitter was hillarious commenting on it! Pirelli twitter announced it, russian newswire announced it, then it was all denied, tweet deleted, story withdrawn etc! Someone jumped the gun eh.
