Pirelli introduce more durable hard tyre into range from Spanish GP
But all other compounds remain unchanged despite controversy

Pirelli have responded to concerns over the durability of their 2013 tyres by announcing that they will make changes to their range - but only to the hard compound.
It remains to be seen whether Pirelli's decision to tweak only one of their compounds for the remainder of the season - and only the hitherto hardest tyre in any case - will pacify the more outspoken critics of their 2013 tyres. Speaking in wake of Sebastian Vettel's dominant victory in Bahrain last Sunday, Red Bull chief Christian Horner continued to insist that the tyres were "too on an edge" with the World Champions believed to have previously pushed for Pirelli to bring back their complete 2012 range.
