A tyre rules change for 2024 may have inadvertently resulted in the very quiet second practice session at Suzuka...
The tyre rules were changed for 2024, which may have compromised track time during practice in Japan.
This is a revision from 2023, where drivers could use four sets of intermediate tyres, and three sets of wet-weather tyres. These regulations were revised by the F1 Commission during the latter stages of 2023, and removed for 2024, which means no additional sets are made available dependent on declared conditions.
“It’s such a shame for the fans here, people watching at home, or those who have travelled three-quarters of the way around the world to not do any laps – it is pretty annoying,” George Russell said.
