Pretty interesting full race radio, so much coaching for Oscar in Bahrain during the race.

Stella said that in Lando's case the tyres were more set up for race distance. We'll see the race pace tomorrow.
My understanding of it, is that they have saved a fresh set (I think it’s a medium?) for the race, rather than setting the car up for for the race

Sonething about using one less soft in practice gave the option of having a soft or medium. May have impacted Qualifying as obe less soft than Oscar.

Maybe so. But I'm sure Oscar also has a fresh set of mediums. I'll have to check the Pirelli chart.

Edit: yes, you are right: on the Medium tyres, Oscar has one fresh set and Lando has two.

Ok, understood. I'm still waiting for info from Pirelli. It's still unclear who has what sets of fresh tyres.

Edit: There's news. Oscar and Lando don't have fresh Hard tyres. Same with the Soft tyres. But for the Medium tyres, Oscar has one fresh set and Lando has two.

That sounds about right, I recall Oscar saying he’ll be ok if it’s a one stop but if it turns into a 2 stopper then he’s not in the best possible shape

I doubt it will go to a 2-stop given what we saw in Free Practice. Although I'll let the actual experts call the shots there.
