I think they thought Mercedes had persuaded them to do this as they thought Mercedes were probably unable to manage their tyres as well as rivals. Just paranoia really. People still believe it.

Great video. Amazing to think that such a tiny thin sliver of thickness has such a profound real-world difference in on-track performance. Pirelli must have some serious tight-tolerance-manufacturing to get the tread widths so precise.
