Yes I agree it's good for the race, but without DAS it makes it hard to get the tyres into the window for qualification.

Max Verstappen has won the French Grand Prix thanks to a well thought out two stop strategy. Mercedes were left surprised, leaving both drivers wonder why they stuck to their one-stopper. Hamilton lost the lead on the penultimate lap to finish second, followed by Sergio Perez.

Exactly!! Time and time again.. Maybe they should cancel the reg change at last minute to maintain the packed fieldgodlameroso wrote: ↑19 Jun 2021, 15:47We're pushing new regulations because we want closer racing, but the current regulations have put the top 10 within a second.

I agree. This happened in '12-'13 which were close until the end of '13. But I will say that I think what we're seeing is that a team like Mercedes would probably be running in high development if it weren't for next yeargodlameroso wrote: ↑19 Jun 2021, 15:47We're pushing new regulations because we want closer racing, but the current regulations have put the top 10 within a second.

Was on mediums I think
But only in qualifying on tires that won't see a single lap during the race.
