So , if Pirelli was mandating that pressures being run stayed above a certain number , but found that the pressures were dropping below that limit on the grid , does it not make sense that they up the starting pressure ?
After all , the most dangerous moments in any GP are at the start , so how could it be wrong to make sure the safest conditions exist at that point , in regard to the tires ?
Upping the pressure by 2 psi will ensure they stay in mandated operating temperatures for the whole race .
This particular loophole is now closed , and it remains to be seen how soon they will work out how to get around this issue , as it looks to me like more than just the lack of being able to let that engine stretch it's legs that's making them slow here .
Both Lewis and Nico had big trouble getting the skins working , and so , I think you're right that the pressure is getting to them .
I just don't see it as a bad thing .
