wow what changed 5 laps so far , 4 laps around 1.23.3 range last one 1.22.5.

Hard to tell without much tv coverage, maybe a setup change, or a different run plan

[M840TR]

Low 23’s now with the new tyres

Still c2?

Hard to tell, they’re white

[max_speed]

i saw in video just posted on autosport , tyre with white line so looks C2 (someone can confirm) and sainz right now is consitently lapping in 1.23.1 - 1.23.5 range.

Confirmed 23:36 Tyre choices out on track:

C2: Sainz
C3: Raikkonen, Kvyat,
D3: Ricciardo

[PhillipM]

Don't forget he's also lapping with bargeboard damage at the minute.

[Xero]

Yes, still C2's. McLaren just posted a video of him leaving the pits on them. Third stint of a full race sim, fuel starting to burn off.

Those were the start of his first stint though. If we're comparing 3rd stints then Hamilton did this on C2s too I believe;
21.692
21.652
21.994
22.187
24.851
24.297
22.815
22.179
22.325
22.432
24.043
24.533

So, still a bit off the pace, but the consistency of Sainz suggests driving to a delta. Hamilton appears to have been more aggressive with 4 quick followed by 2 slow.

He’s out right now

[PhillipM]

They were probably fitting new bargeboards, be a few install laps .
