Isola: Weekend difficult due to the weather

The forecast promises different weather on all days of the Hungarian weekend – heat on Friday, rain on Saturday and coolness on Sunday. Pirelli thinks this will make work with rubber very difficult.

Mario Isola: “On Friday, as always in Hungary, the track condition improved quickly – already on the first day of the weekend we saw several results worthy of tomorrow’s qualifying. But tomorrow’s forecast is heavy rain, so we can’t control that.

Cooler weather expected on Sunday
which may be one of the reasons for the active soft tire work on Friday. The lower the temperature, the more grip soft tires provide, the more efficiently they work in the race. However, more wear and tear must be taken into account here, especially in the first segment, when there is still a lot of fuel in the tanks.

Wear on hard tires was higher than expected today due to the slipping of cars on asphalt, while medium and soft compounds worked better in these conditions.

The changeable weather will force teams to make some tough strategic decisions in the coming days.”
