Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

new tyres in F1. The tyre compound quickly degrades and the cars are not able to maintain a constant performance for a series of consecutive laps. So the life of tyres is very limited, and even the performance falls very soon. This year we will have races with lots of pit stops (probably 3), as required by FIA to the new supplier of tyres to make the competitions more uncertain until the arrival
For example this is a long run(13 laps) of Alonso on last Friday
Lap time
1. 1:28.849
2. 1:28.950
3. 1:28.653
4. 1:29.051
5. 1:29.307
6. 1:30.796
7. 1:29.559
8. 1:30.026
9. 1:30.386
10. 1:30.102
11. 1:30.767.
12. 1:30.743
13. 1:30.920
look at the gap between the first and last lap
