- i.e. have a choice, not be forced to use a tyre that will grain within 3 laps, it adds nothing to the racing, just puts it back to tactics, which is not what I (as a spectator), want to see ???

agreed i'd like them all on the same tyre for the race and just have to deal with it. I as I said above Bridgestone came up with this so that they would still get something out of the sport otherwise they would only be mentioned when there was a tyre failure.
What the FIA fail to realise is that whenever they come up with these strategy things there is always one way that is quicker and all the teams do that with no variety, although the first race this season seems to be an exception to that.
