Live timing wasn't working 100% correctly today, but as far as I could see, both McLaren + Verstappen saved a set of new softs for tomorrow.
Think Merc may have also. They only used 3 sets of soft in quali at least for Russell.
yes indeed, Russell as well. Should be like this:

I couldn't verify which used set LEC used at the end of Q2, though. So his best set of softs could also be 3 laps old.
I also gathered some tyre data according to the F1 app tyre usage and the last qualy session ...
And here is my tyre situation for the race:
According to Mario Isola, it seems that most strategies will be around a 2-stop race, switching the tyres between the C2-medium tyre and C3-soft tyre.
Interesting note: LEC has 2 new medium C2 tyres and RUS has 2 new soft C3 tyres, hence LEC might do an M-M-S and RUS an S-M-S strategy.
As for the front runners, they will all start on M tyres and it seems that an M-S-S or probably an M-M-S strategy will be the most favorite choice in the race ...
