What would be the 'perfect tire'?

So this season was made interesting mainly by the tires, teams were struggling to understand them and manage to switch them on. But what type of tire is the best? One that 'drops off the cliff' suddenly and loses grip, one that allows the driver to push the car hard for longer periods of time, or on...

How can you vote for Vettel on the fact that he came back from having a spin, he caused the spin by having a bad a start and turning into senna.

Kimi has been excellent this year, i wonder what he would have done had he been not out of F1 for 2 years! Renault/Lotus have been competitive since 2010 and he would have done a good job with Kubica in 2010. Maybe with a more "involved" driver they could have gotten better results, but I think Kim...

Re: Which car was faster in Austin?

Hamilton had a different line to Vettel going through the s bends, that was when he was closing the gap, thats where i think the Mclaren was fastest, maybe because of how Lewis was driving it. But overall i think they were very close.
