Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said: “They (Pirelli) have complained in the past when these tyres have delaminated which is certainly nothing to do with it (what happened yesterday),” said Ecclestone, speaking to Press Association Sport.

“They’ve said they’d like to sort it out, but they don’t have a chance to do any testing because of these bloody silly restrictions we have. But I spoke to Jean Todt over the weekend and he has said ‘Let them test’.”u00a0
