Пирели за събота


Пол Хембри:
The significantly higher temperatures we experienced during qualifying today will have altered tyre behaviour compared to free practice yesterday, when the teams did their set-up work, and in turn this will also have an effect on the tyre strategy. However, we’re only expecting one or two stops for most drivers, depending on the car. That’s a sign of how low wear and degradation has been, with very little drop-off in pace even on the softest tyre, in warm temperatures with heavy traction demands. We already saw plenty of strategy in qualifying, with the soft tyres seemingly suiting some cars more than the faster supersoft. As a result of that, the times were very closely matched, with every indication that this will be the case for the race tomorrow as well.
