Control tire= good racing. They always qualify within 2-3 second for the entire field, always race tight. It is good stuff compared to say MotoGP where you get one tire brand being successful and that brand saving it's best versions of that brand tire for one rider or team and the rest of the field getting an older, lower spec version...No telling how many championships have been one on that one advantage alone...Cough, Ahem, Stoner...
