Didn't they have to use mandated tires?

They were also gapping the competition by 1 second in race pace in FP1.
This looks like it's going to be a snoozer where Ferrari absolutely dominates.
Fuel loads were fixed as well, 20kg for the short runs, 100kg for the long runs.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑27 Oct 2024, 07:19Didn't they have to use mandated tires?

Hard to have same pace on a non durable tire.
Exactly. So extrapolating any race pace from those sessions is bound to have huge margins of error. McLaren usually has a good read of their race pace and if they think they are similar to McLaren, I think we should trust them. Only caveat is that it may be that lower temperatures help Ferrari who seemed to overheat their tyres in earlier stages of qualifying.search wrote: ↑27 Oct 2024, 07:39Fuel loads were fixed as well, 20kg for the short runs, 100kg for the long runs.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑27 Oct 2024, 07:19Didn't they have to use mandated tires?
