Weather gusty again like yesterday, and track limits moved 80cm inward rather than previously stated 60cm

Track temp is high

How’s does Pirelli know that those corners were solely responsible?

Isola basically saying it’s preventative. Tyres not anywhere near failing. I expect that mandated 3 stop stuff to be scrapped. Hopefully get back to normal now.

I think that's where the cars were primarily running far enough wide for long enough on the kerbs. They are high speed as well so more load

There's going to be a lot of deleted laps in the sprint qualifying.

Apparently 4 teams had significant tire damage in FP1. Any guesses?

Verstappen might be in some trouble here. That trip across the gravel has likely chipped up the floor and there's no way RB could fix that before the qualy session.

you can swap out a floor in 20mins for a spare, no ? When teams are testing an old vs new floor spec sometimes they change the floor mid-session I think
