After the first day of running there have been no big surprises from our end: instead the question marks are all about the weather. And obviously the tyre use is going to be very much dictated by that. This is one of the most demanding circuits of the year for the tyres as they are constantly cornering, accelerating or braking: there is no real respite anywhere on the lap. Despite these significant demands, we’re still expecting two to three pit stops for most drivers under normal circumstances, while wear and degradation are still very much within the limits we would expect. Graining has been extremely contained as well: almost negligible. Only one thing is for sure, which is that there’s a lot more to come from this weekend.
