Tyre changes for a better spectacleMax Mosley has defended Red Bull for casting a controversial vote to axe the single tyre rule in Formula One for 2006.
Renault boss Flavio Briatore recently slammed the Dietrich Mateschitz-owned camp for `betraying` the other Michelin teams. Austria`s Mateschitz voted in favour of the FIA President`s proposal, thus appearing to gift rival Bridgestone its favoured rule.
Some said Red Bull`s move was political, as the team is allied with engine supplier Ferrari, Bernie Ecclestone - via the 2008 Concorde - and skiing buddy Mr. Mosley.
But Max insisted: ``Mateschitz voted for it because he thought the most important thing was the spectacle.``
At his media lunch with reporters in London this week, Mosley backed his call to axe the single-tyre plan by saying that the spectacle of pit stops had dipped.
