This speculates that the tyre pressure was lowered on STR and VER car.
But that is easily checked by investigating the other rear tyre that didn't blow.
Just measure how much air is in that tyre.
I don't know if it's common practice to lower tyre pressure behind the FIA's or Pirelli's back but I think it's also hard to believe that in this case it was decided to only do that with STR and VER car.
I think it's very strange for an 'investigation' to speculate on facts that can be very very easily checked.

''as there is no requirement for them to maintain pressures once a car is out on track''.
I've been perusing over this bit and agree that it's a bit greyish here.
There's also talk of tyre warmer cover temps being regulated as the correlation of putting air/nitrogen into a tyre and how hot the tyre warmers are with the tyre pressure reading can vary.
