Bit of a false dichotomy comparing Moto GP and F1 really.
WEC has banned warmers, there have been complaints about it, but they’re largely getting on with it. WRC prohibits them.
We should have a season long test without tyre blankets to determine the impact of the rule change.
I don’t necessarily think that cold tyres will bring chaos either. I think it just changes the strategy during a race. Whether that turns out to be good for the sport I can’t say.
I suppose the real question is what can Pirelli do to give grip at low temperatures.
It wastes resources it lowers the skill ceiling it brings the overtaking to the pits instead of track. The only reason for tyre blankets is that’s it’s easier for Pirelli since warmup isn’t the biggest concern

I just wanna know why they push for it.
Environmental reasons apparently.

I’ve personally got no preference. Not sure if that puts me in an odd position or not. I’m good either way.
