Can’t find it on line. What exactly did he say?

Still makes no sense; you can’t extrude a tyre. Some components have always been extruded but that’s the same for any tyre.

Certainly until very recently Pirelli’s F1 tyres were made by basically the same process as any other.

I've pretty much quoted what he wrote. Expect it won't be online as it is the latest edition of the mag.

I don’t understand why thermal degradation is even necessary... why not have a tyre where as you wear down the tread, the compound just gets harder? The tyre gets slower the longer you use it but you can still push flat out without overheating.

You need to stop with the sensible vibes, this IS F1 you know!!

18" wheels will leave oodles of space for steel brakes if they are actually serious about err, cost saving for example.

steel brake discs don't actually increase braking distances, zanardi ran them in F1 when he drove for williams... they just increase weight.
