Blame Ferrari, Force India and Lotus
Raikkonen and Massa might want to have a word with their bosses
Just as you thought it might be safe to talk about something else, this column has been hijacked again by a familiar subject - tyres.
The British Grand Prix was certainly an exciting affair, but it was on the whole the kind of excitement the drivers could do without.
Punctures is too tame a word for what really happened to those affected by the tyre issue. Perhaps Charlie Whiting, the race director was nearer the truth when he described it as "catastrophic tyre failure".
In layman's terms the things exploded. When you are doing 180mph it's a life-threatening situation. It's not much better when you are in the car behind. As Adrian Newey, the Red Bull designer put it: "The car has a failure and suddenly you have three kilos of tread flying around. If that hits a helmet, it doesn't bear thinking about."
Of course the drivers have been thinking about it, and for some time. Since Bahrain, they have been writing, asking for some kind of action on tyres. After the British GP, they were even talking about boycotting this weekend's German Grand Prix.
You can understand their anger. Filipe Massa almost died four years ago when a stray spring from a car in front hit his helmet. Kimi Raikkonen found a lump of rubber from Jean-Eric Vergne's tyre in his cockpit.
Whiting was one more tyre failure away from red-flagging the race at Silverstone on safety grounds. The safety of the 22 drivers quite rightly would have taken precedence over the 120,000 people watching in the English sunshine and the hundreds of millions watching around the world.
