Does anyone know why Pirelli has been doing this skipped set for tyres. It seems very odd now that teams have choice on starting tyre. It basically means no one will use the softs in the race
it actually looked fairly durable yesterday. Some may try it in the race to have an advantage early on. The hard will probably last for two races anyway, so doesn't matter much if you stop in lap 10 or 20.
As far as I understood, the reason to use them was that on this track (and new surface) the difference in terms of lap time is relatively low. Even those supersofts now are only sth like 6 tenths quicker than the medium.
