Марио Изола:
Although the teams chose some quite different allocations of tyres before the race, as they all discard certain sets in accordance with the regulations, it's likely that they will end up with selections that are quite similar for qualifying and the race. One thing we have definitely seen already is that the speeds and therefore loads on the tyres are unprecedented this year. This is exactly as we would expect from all the high-energy tracks this season, because of the increased downforce and wider tyres. Despite these extra demands, the supersoft made its very first grand prix weekend appearance at Silverstone and set the record-breaking time with Bottas. So far, this compound is around 0.7 seconds per lap faster than the soft. If the weather remains dry tomorrow – which is definitely a question mark – we can expect the benchmark to be lowered even futher in qualifying.
