They moved a grade softer this year didn't they? There was probably a little uncertainty on the longevity of the C4 compound

Yeah I think the 3x Compounds for here are actually the 3 "softest" in the range

Yup. So the softest hard tyre they produce can do the entire race distance. Great job Pirelli.

I went to make a coffee in the hopes that something exciting would happen when I wasn't looking. Alas it did not

 

[Flibster]

Riding onboard through turn 8-10 always makes me wince. I hate those turns in the games.

Different strokes and all that, heard plenty of people advocate in the past that the hardest tyre should be able to do a whole race distance to open up weird strategy opportunities, especially around early or late safety cars etc.

Plus the compounds are what the FIA tell Pirelli to have.

Will Lando ask Yuki to swap places now?

 

[chrismscotland]

Watch as a frustrated Norris bins it into a wall

 

[Mad_Jay]

Papaya rules - Oscar isn't scoring so we have to bodge the stop Lando.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Time for lando to stack it

Is it the same corner as last time?

 

[Flibster]

So the rear right was slow off and the front right tyre gun was slow.

Great job.
