Silverstone has a history of ripping these Pirelli tyres up, as far as I recall it was originally to do with the kerbs (obviously combined with the high-speed nature of the corners). I believe they did some work to reduce this, but I'm guessing it's still the primary reason.

It feels (i.e. I can't remember) ages since we had non-damage related punctures in F1. Is that just down to the high-load on the tyres at Silverstone or just because there's been so little racing the tyres haven't had as much running so teams are not 100% sure how they work?
