It used to be that racing stimulated technological progress, with some useful spin-offs into the real world .
F1 seems bend on reversing that concept.
Michelin had tyres ready that'd last an entire GP.
F1 decided on mandatory tyre swaps, then picked Pirelli as a supplier - a company known for excessive tyre wear.
