Bernie Ecclestone has joined in with criticism of Pirelli's 2013 tyres amid reports that the F1 supremo spoke with disgruntled Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz after the Spanish GP.
Mateschitz's words have served to add further fuel to the fire. "Everyone knows what happens here," the Austrian billionaire was quoted as saying by his national press. "Under the circumstances, we can neither get the best out of our car nor our drivers. This is a competition in tyre management. Real racing looks different. "There is no more real qualifying and fighting for the pole as everyone is just saving tyres for the race. If we made the best of our car we would have to stop eight or ten times during a race, depending on the track."
