Just in regarding the Pirelli's at Paul Ricard :

Pirelli specified a minimum of 19.5psi for this race, which has been raised to 21.5psi. The minimum pressure for front tyres remains at 21psi.

The expected stabilised running pressures are no less than 22psi for the fronts and 22.5psi for the rears.

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'.

This is how it used to be:
it was the thing i was thinking during FP2.. actually taking out that chicane d create a contradiction for teams for setting up the car for that straight or the corners.. track d need downforce except that part and actually things could go better here.. if safety is the concern that part could be fixed anyway..

That's terrible the storm damage to property and cars, the force of the wind is frightening watching the vid. Some parts of US are taking a battering also from the Gulf of Mexico.
