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.

I just wanna know why they push for it.

Environmental reasons apparently.

false equivalence, not false dichotomy.
