Still this article doesn't make sense to me.

Especially this:
"F1 teams are currently only required to run tyres at a minimum tyre pressure when they are first fitted to the cars, as there is no requirement for them to maintain pressures once a car is out on track."

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.
