Пол Хембри:
The tyres have a lot of work to do in Barcelona, particularly the front-left, but despite this wear and degradation is in line with our expectations, which means that we should see most drivers do a maximum of three stops tomorrow. With no pre-season testing in Barcelona this year, the teams used today to adapt their 2014 cars to the high-energy characteristics of the track, and we expect lap times to fall further as more rubber is laid down. There is normally a high degree of track evolution here, helped by the large number of support races, which will have an effect on tyre wear over the rest of the weekend. On that subject, the fact we’re bringing the most number of tyres that we’ve ever transported to a grand prix – 3224 – underlines our commitment to the sport and providing the best possible spectacle for the fans, by encouraging competitors to run as much as possible.
