Pirelli boss Isola admits he has no answer as to why F1 teams rejected the chance to race blanket-free intermediate tyres.
Earlier this year, the teams agreed to allow blanket-free full wets from the Emilia Romagna GP onwards.
The Singapore GP was earmarked as the potential starting point given production and transport schedules. At least eight teams had to support the decision. "The problem is that to test them as an additional prototype is difficult because we should send them everywhere in the world. Isola insisted that he didn't know why teams would reject the new intermediates having accepted the full wets.Mario Isola, Racing Manager, Pirelli MotorsportOnly some teams have been involved in the intermediate testing and Isola acknowledged that others may have wanted to test the new tyres before committing to using them for race weekends."Clearly, it's also difficult to try intermediate or wets," he said.
