Daytime conditions will mean harder tyre compounds are needed, but when the floodlights come on, the cooler temperatures could throw up interesting tyre strategies. “We now know the characteristics of the new Lusail asphalt, which compared to last year has made our task easier, particularly when choosing the compounds.
“The Sprint race and the Grand Prix are scheduled for the evening, and the SOFT rear tyre could be an option, particularly for the 11 laps of the Sprint.
