Bit of a false dichotomy comparing Moto GP and F1 really.

WEC has banned warmers, there have been complaints about it, but they're largely getting on with it. WRC prohibits them.

We should have a season long test without tyre blankets to determine the impact of the rule change.

I don't necessarily think that cold tyres will bring chaos either. I think it just changes the strategy during a race. Whether that turns out to be good for the sport I can't say.

I suppose the real question is what can Pirelli do to give grip at low temperatures.

F1 drivers and spectators will complain about anything. But when a change happens, a few years pass and people stop complaining. Remember the whole engine mumbo jumbo, how everyone didn't like the lack of reliability/lack of noise/ or whatever else was their favourite thing to bring up. Nobody complains about engines nowadays though, and they are in one of the most reliable places in F1 history.

IDK, IndyCar handles it just fine, but I guess some might say their drivers aren't as "elite" as in F1.
