Does F1's cloud have a silver (Arrows) lining?
Changes to the construction of Pirelli's tyres in time for this weekend's German GP look set to help Mercedes and its overheating woes. Jonathan Noble explains
Formula 1 is not a sport that likes to spend too much time dwelling on the past. It's all about the next race, the next lap and the next bit of work that can help shave off a couple of tenths of a second.
So while those outside the sport continue to delve into where the blame lies for the Pirelli tyre crisis that F1 has found itself in, those at the centre of it are already focused somewhere else.
