Lotuses hit each other, McLarens hit each other, Mercedes threw away a front row start, Williams threw away a 1-2 for a 4-5, and somehow Räi managed to find a way of losing to Vettel again. -.-
As long as one set of tyres doesn't easily last a race distance, there will be tyre management. Making tyres that last a bit longer only means that the first pit stop will be slightly later. Unless tyre stops are made to be a forced 2-lap window for everyone..
