Proof that Michelin tires "cheat"

Well maybe not cheat.. but they certainly deform around the corners....




look at the left rear!

are those unedited images?

When a tyre is loosing air it's bound to deform isn't it? That's what this looks like to me.

Maybe you should say where the pictures are from then?

Whatever, it doesn't look like the tyre is supposed to do that. Look at the right rear, looks perfectly normal.

well thats not a true pic imho, or its because the tires are under load. because the left and right are slumping at the same angle

Oh ffs, we have been through this

Tyres deform under load. Same goes for rear wings, front wings and the rest of the dam car

The tyres are allowed to deform under load. Theres nothing agaisnt it in the rules.

Please stop **** stirring and bringing up useless drivvel.

tyres are allowed to deform around corners!

How can they cheat? Up to Hungary the rule clearly said

270 mm BEFORE the race.

There was NO mentioning of IN the race and AFTER it. Only when Bridgestone complained about it, the FIA changed the rule AFTER Hungary. Since there hasn't been a race since Hungary, how can you say Michelin cheat?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

You know the fast right-hander leading to the new bit of track at the Hungaroring, thats where you could see most cars' tryes deforming when viewed from a camera angle behind the cars. I was amazed to see them deform so much (both tyre companies) that it looked like they had literally no air in them.

lol u tell em ellis

exactly, how many times does this have to be said before people realise its the truth?

MAtt, it doesnt matter how many times we say it, they just wont fecking get it! there has always got to be a reason for Michael not doing well. Its never his fault, therefore we go through this constantly

the tyres were LEGAL. got that? LEGAL

that pic of the williams left rear tyre looks a bit suspect.........

I thought you was stating a good point there Ellis but then you said:

"there has always got to be a reason for Michael not doing well. Its never his fault"

It that makes you sound as bad as them. (not ment in a harsh way!!!)

In that pic the cars are in different places on the track, plus that is not a pic of the front tyres.

And RS had a slow puncture it was said after the race

Hockenheim,T1.



Everything in the past is better than today.It's true,I read it on the internet.

The williams is not on the curb yet the ferrari already is u can not compare them pics.

Were they are racing speed, was it the same lap,

i agree, u cant compare them because there going thru different stresses. and powerhorse, the tire doesnt look suspect, its under stress
