Tyres:
Same as in the opening two races: soft (yellow) and hard (silver), but no evaluation tyres for practice.

One point about DRS. What is the point of having the DRS zone at the only part of the track that produces overtaking anyway? It will make overtaking too easy. Why not have the DRS zone at a place that is slightly more difficult to overtake e.g. the pit straight?

I can reprise my routine of watching practice from the comfort of my bed before chucking some sausages in the oven just in time for qualifying

I think the DRS zone ought to be the straight between turns 10 and 11.
Turns 9 and 10 spread the cars out a little and the DRS would allow one to catch up to potentially set up a move through 11 and 12, while the overtaken car could counter-attack down the back straight.You are here.
Fourmaux. Btw msport tested also hankook tyres https://youtu.be/DESKqpAqX5o?si=3uxWc8FrCUGMT0Pi https://youtu.be/sHetcbBQwKk?si=M7kq3bf2ar3Slhco
