I want to see these softs falling apart after 10 laps please!!

I want to see them falling apart after 1 lap. Lets see everyone use all their tyres and then finish on rims.

They can switch tyres?
13
If they are damaged and look unsafe the race officials can allow it. Obviously same compound just a new set on whatever tires are a problem.
37
Also a tyre with similar wear is chosen if available.
51
They don't give them a new set, it's a set that has a similar amount of wear. Like the tyres given to both would likely be Softs used in another qualifying run.
29
But if not available would be new right?
1
Well they find one with similar wear from all the tires used by all teams so far over the weekend. So say a Ferrari could get tires used by Mercedes that have similar wear. Also they get a load of tyres back from the first 40 minutes of FP1 after which the tires have to be returned to Pirelli
One set after the first 40 minutes of FP1One set at the end of FP1Two sets at the end of FP2 *Two sets at the end of FP3

Not new, but similarly degraded
7
Only if the tyres are so bad that they become a safety issue.
4
Is there going to be a statement as to why the tyres were too dangerous to start on?
7
Usually the teams or Pirelli say it was due to cuts or smth. It's all goes through FIA allowance anyway.
28
When Leclerc crashed in Baku last year quali, Ferrari said the tyres were damaged and got new on safety grounds. That's the only reason you are allowed to replace them.

Bono my front tyre is not a good fan.

What do CE and ES stand for?
4
control electronics and energy storage IIRC

Pretty sure it's combustion engine not control electronics

I thought that was labeled as ICE

Cant you just ruin your Tyres on the in lap in Q2 and say that these tyres are too dangerous to start with to get a new set for the race?
1†
You get a used set, so no real advantage.
20
Apart from the fact they don’t have to pit after the race starts for a new set, sure no advantage.
-1
Of course, if you make a mistake and ruin your tyres you'll gain an advantage, like Hamilton in Baku 2016.
That's not what we're talking about here though. The guy above me talks about ruining you tyres on purpose in Q2 to get a fresh set of tyres. That's not what happens.
1
No because you get tyres with a similar wear. If you use 20 laps old tires which are then deemed unsafe due to blisters (or whatever) then you get 20 laps old tires that are deemed safe.
12
Yes and no. Now a days people in internet will realize this from POV stream etc and quickly make it go viral and then FIA will come and give you grid penalty etc.
-7
You get a used set of tyres that has similar wear, but is safe to race on. You don't get brand new tyres.
4
I actually knew that (from other comments) but due to brain malfunction i thought the "new set" in other way than brand new fresh tiers.
-1
What a dumb comment.
1
In what way?
2
In every way

Following F1 these days is so much better. There is so much access to information; back then we would only know if the commentators told us during the broadcast and maybe read about it subsequently on the news.
I mean, all this info is already available on FIA site. https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/decision-document/2020%20Spanish%20Grand%20Prix%20-%20Parts%20and%20parameters%20been%20replaced%20or%20changed%20during%20the%20Parc%20Ferm%C3%A9.pdf
I think he’s talking about before the internet, chief.
I mean, isn't this true for almost everything when you consider before and after internet age?
Grew up with f1 in the mid to late 80’s. tune in on a Sunday and listen. That was pretty much it.
Used to love the first race of the year and mum with give me a page out the newspaper with all the new cars.
Totally agree
