Пирели за събота


Пол Хембри:
We had cooler conditions today, which suited our nominated tyres better than the unusually hot track temperatures that we saw yesterday. Qualifying was an extremely tight battle, with the threat of rain providing an extra edge, but that threat if anything will intensify tomorrow. Obviously this will have a big effect on the strategy, but if it stays dry the quickest theoretical strategy is a three-stopper, although we would expect most teams to try a two-stopper in order to avoid getting caught up in traffic. After an interrupted day yesterday all the teams managed to collect more data today, with the top two qualifiers separated by just three-hundredths of a second. We’ve seen the fastest-ever pole lap of Interlagos today, which underlines the way that the cars and the tyres have developed over the last 10 years.
