The improvement in performance was more obvious in FP1 than in FP2, as the latter was really complicated because off all the interruptions. “All three compounds worked as expected and the performance differences between them are in line with our prior simulations. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the two sets of Mediums are managed during tomorrow’s free practice, in view of Sunday’s race. “The increase in the speed limit here from 60 to 80 km/h could have an impact on strategies. What we can be sure of is that, now, if the race was to be neutralised, it could make a second pit stop a much more attractive proposition than in the past.
