I have a question. Next week is the FIA Gala prize giving i think in Paris. So i would like to know if it will be show on eurosport or any other channel since they are back in europe...

I liked how they showed all the highlight clips on Eurosport of every series, not just F1.

Usually the highlight clip is shown & F1.com added 10 minute highlights of the ceremony last year. It's not that exciting really.

Current F1 rear tyre have 370mm of width and that has been the case since 1993. It's a R13, although I'm not sure about the aspect ratio but given how high the profile is, maybe it's even more than 45%. Well, not that this have anything relevant to the point you're making, sorry for being pedantic.

I have read several books regarding tyres in general and racing tyres, as well, and I'm not sure it is necessary to increase tyre's durability to stretch it's operational temperature window.

Current Pirellis window is 25ºC. It is just that the softest window is at a lower range than the hardest, eg, 2013 Supersofts' optimal operational temperature is from 85 to 110ºC while the hards's are 110-135ºC.

Plus, tyre warmers are a relative new thing into racing. The manufactures have a know know of contruction before it became the norm.

But imo, as Phil said earlier about the fixed number proposal, this is very far from a F1 priority. There are much more things I would like to be changed first, eg, regarding tyres themselves, I would love lower aspect ratios but teams are heavily against the idea when Pirelli proposed it last year and when Michelin showed interested in introducing their LMP1-like low profile tyres

Not only low profiles have a much better look, imo, but they also give more tractional force. I think teams are against it because the tyres are the main "springs" in a F1 car which have a very stiff ride. The current big sidewalls allows for lot's of impact absorption while with low profile tyres the teams would need to do a fresh start with designs of suspension,springs and etc and that's something nobody is willing to put money on
