Formula 1...

I dont know, it is a faster tyre, but also wears quickly. So some teams would need to pit more depending on tyre choice.

A C5 at Silverstone would be fun. Some drivers would say their tyre was knackered by the third corner. Checo would keep on cruising.

First I ever heard of “Maxxis” was on my racing Kart. They were the new tyre for one year. Front tyre was 30% wider than the Bridgestones from before. DAMN!!! Transformed racing for us back then, grip for daaaaaaaaaaays. But they were shait at heat cycles and you lost 1/10th after the first run and more each run. Tyre budget and setup notes went out the window! 
 

sorry… went off topic there. ????

what year did you race? my cousin raced against the Cronje's brothers etc around 2000. I jouned them in the pits for my year off after school, touring the country. Was super fun. 125 Promo and later GP class. He was SA champion in 2002(if memory serves). Raced Tony Kart. He is(was) 2m tall and 90kg, and although that meant he was racing without any balast on the car, he was still massivly overweight compared to the smaller guys in the class....and we would get protested every race he won because people didnt get how he was beating them haha. Pine town and Umhlanga street races he would lap the entire field haha. Justin, His dad -  Sakkie van Biljon, was a legend of SA oval track racing in the 80s too.

FIA might be taking the tyre manufacturer restrictions a bit too far now.

With the C5, Lewis will start complaining from his private jet seat already.......

He sold his private jet because it is bad for the environment. But then he leases it from the new owner anyway. He's a real smart one that.

Much can be read into and debated about that, but it’s irrelevant to my position that multiple tyre manufacturers should be allowed, bruv.  

Remember the days when it was Good Year vs Bridgestone
