Ten laps the maximum on supersofts - Pirelli

Canada will be even worse. I can see US 05 happening all over again unless the fia provide more tyres

Wonder how monaco feel about there track being resurfaced with a million Pirelli marbles

[sv_godspeed]

but, remember, Pirelli did say that it could be a "2-stop race" - wonder how they figured that?

Ferrari on Twitter: "Contrary to what happened in the recent races, today there are no extra sets of tyres available so only two sets of primes and one options."

I'm starting to really hate this very limited tyre allocation.

Ok since we did well in FP1, we best should sit out FP2 and 3

6 Stops ????? will any team have enough tyres ?????

This is gonna be tyre management in overdrive

With total of 6 sets, you can have a maximum of 5 stops only. Unless they have to start putting wet tires on

Vettel did a 23 lap stint on the super softs today, and the track isn't fully rubbered yet, there will be no tyre problems next sunday.

So strategy and pit stops to play a key role in Monaco. I really hope we get our strategy right but something tells me that once again we will try and mirror another team's tactics. I really believe that Horner did a dummy on us by pitting Webber last year in Abu Dhabi knowing pretty well that Ferrari would cover that move. They sacrificed Webber for the sake of Vettel. I'm thinking that they might send one their boys out on the super softs at the very last moment in Q3 and we'll react to that with damaging consequences in the race. I do hope I'm wrong but if I'm not then it is a case where other teams can read us like a book because we are so predictable especially in the eyes of Red Bull. I think Horner is a very clever guy.

Super-soft tyres lasting far longer than expected

"Pirelli expected their super-soft tyre would be good for no more than ten laps in Monaco.

But in second practice the tyres were lasting for more than 20.

Here’s all the data from the second practice session."
