Ferrari F1 chief Mattia Binotto is disappointed that a proposal to bring back last year's tyre specification was rejected. 

He says that F1 missed a great opportunity to allow rivals to catch up with championship leaders Mercedes. 

Several teams had proposed dropping this year's thinner-tread tyres in favour of last year's specs.. because Ferrari and other outfits were unable to get them to work.
