Tyre warmers' limitation

Post

Hi there!
Is there any limitation of tyre package count (4 tyres = 1 package) in tyre warmers in event? For example f1 commands are heating all tyre packages they have for event or just limited count.
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure how many sets of tyres are prepared in tyre warmers. As tyresw take some time to come up to temperature (several hours) it makes sense for them to have several sets wrapped up and ready. In Testign the teams have a second pit garage with racks and rack of tyres set up in tyre warmers.
I would imagine that teams have at least two or three sets of slicks ready, plus some wets or inters at any one time during a race weekend.
