So true. With 'em in '77.....aaaannnd........nor agin' 'em in '76. ;)

To be fair however, did Goodyear do any development for Tyrrell after the initial? Depailler didn't fair to well either in '77 compared to his and Scheckter's '76 season with it.
'T'was a shame, the '34 was interesting and showed promise. :sorrow:

The problem was IIRC that the front tyre got no development at all, being a 10 inch diameter size unique to Tyrrell (and not just in F1, the size was just oddball full stop). However to compound that the rears, being a size common to all in F1, and with Michelin coming into F1 in 1977 (with Renault) there was a development tyre war developing. So the rears were getting better and grippier by the race with the fronts on the Tyrrell remaining static creating huge and widening issues with front to rear balance.
Of course Goodyear were developing. the standard 13" size F1 front that all bar Tyrrell were using so the rest of the grid had front and rear tyres developed in unison and complementary to each other.

No, Goodyear didn't.

It showed more than just promise - it was highly competitive early on. But it just stagnated.

Everso Biggyballies , MonteCristo....I didn't think they got any. I remembered that Goodyear left 'em out to dry but wasn't sure if it did at least some compound development the first year while keeping the same design and molds otherwise...... Like I said, 'a shame, as was the turbine restricting out of competitiveness in Indy car racing (USAC at the time). ;(

That would suggest you gave credence to my posts in the first place, which you clearly haven't.

Weird, that also popped up in my YouTube feed about 2 days ago.

What is it about the Google algorithm that promotes these things randomly years later?

I got a video of stroll being warned seven times about max approaching, before he impeded him at Silverstone. Clever algorithm!

CLAP has triple Seb's point this year, with twice as many DNFs.

This year will go on the highlight reel.

(now watch Vettel win this final race :P)
