Alonso: 2011 tyres will hurt top teams

Fernando Alonso says he is not in favour of the move towards less durable tyres for 2011, as he fears this will end up penalising faster cars. Pirelli has responded to requests to make tyre management a greater factor in grands prix and deliberately designed its new-for-2011 tyres to wear faster than 2010's Bridgestones, which were often capable of covering an entire race distance. Drivers' views on the new tyres' characteristics have been mixed so far , and Alonso said at a Santander event in Madrid today that the likelihood of extra pitstops would cause 'uncertainty' in races and hamper the top teams
