But now comes the hard part: Who will benefit (or loose) from the higher pressure ? It adds a random effect throughout the field and can change the cars balance in such a close fight. Midfield specially, but also between the title runners !
The Pirelli psi-pressure was never higher before .On a track (asphalt) temperature of 50°C !
Crazy !

It was always on the cards that Pirelli would do that now to increase pressures to cover the shortcomings of their tyres.
Max has said the pressures were spot on in Baku in their guidelines and he feels parelli is 'shifting sand'.
