F1 and Pirelli don't mix according to S. Vettel

Huh, it seems after Pirelli takes place as the official Formula One partner, only one F1 driver that says he's unfit for new Pirelli F1 tires that all teams will use. This F1 driver is none other than last year's champ, Sebastian Vettel, famed for not just a 2010 F1 Champ, but he made a special appearance on Gran Turismo 5 for the Red Bull X Challenge.

Scoop:

According to S. Vettel, these new Pirelli F1 tires can lose grip easily. They are good for just 16 or 17 laps and it cost the pit crew 10 seconds.

I guess I understand S. Vettel's point because for him, F1 and Pirelli don't mix. Despite that, the first race is about to start this late March at Australia. Can S. Vettel keep up on this latest challenge? We hope so for Red Bull Racing's young champ.
