A series of different causes led to the tyre failures at Silverstone:

– We didn’t know the cars would be driving that fast.

– Uneven wear caused by too much turning right.

– The teams repeatedly put new wheels onto the cars too quickly.

– Excessive braking, accelerating and swerving about.

– Extremely sharp leaves on track.

– Failure to proceed to approved Pirelli stockist upon kerbing tyres

– We were asked to make shit tyres. Stop fucking complaining when the tyres are indeed shit.

A FOLLOW UP STATEMENT FROM PAUL HEMBERY

Oh God, I’m so sorry. Forget all that, forget I spoke. It’s not you, it’s me.
