If, by some lucky circumstance, the race starts under dry weather, which driver/s is going to benefit the most?

Are drivers who qualified with full wets allowed to change to dry tyres before the race starts?

If not, surely those who attempted to qualify with normal wets, intermediates or dries (in reverse order) are going to be better off?

Did some teams play strategies during qualifying?

Were the media and a lot of the so called "race fans" who post on this forum duped by what happened yesterday?

Personally, I believe that both Lewis and Kimmi are laughing all the way to the bank - assuming of course that the race starts in sunshine

They can start with whatever tyres they like, so on that score no one has an advantage.

Of course. Just like -when you've Q on dry tyres- you're allowed to start on wets if there's rain falling from the skies.


Well, they succeeded quite well in giving me a different impression
Just have a look who are right in front of them on the grid. And don't forget Nelsinho right behind Lewis
It's going to be a pretty nervous first lap....

I thought this thread was about what brand Max uses.
I leave disappointed.

I wanted to say wait for few erm 9 months... but yours is better and beat me to it!

What is more interesting is how many wet tires do the drivers have. I beleive they only have 3 sets of full wets for the entire weekend, and this time there has been plenty of use for them.
So if the race is wet, who has the tire advantage?

3 sets of wets, 4 sets of inters
