Is the starting gap between the cars enough to allow the dust to dissipate between them or will there still be bad dust hanging in the air in sheltered sections ?
At shakedown gap between cars was 3min, is it enough for longer stages?
saving a set of softs for the future may be...Quote:

“Soft would have been the best option,” he said. “Looking at what qualifying means for the weekend, was it clever to have run hard compound or not? I don’t know but it’s too late, we’ve done it now.”
Just seems like a bizarre choice to me. I would of thought for the longer days and stages they would want the hard tyres more than a spare set of softs, so they last longer. For the short qualifier go with softs for the grip and to hell with the wear, it can be made up by road position on the first full day. I wonder if Ogier will comment on the choice.
Where did you find the info sheet with the times from free practice?Quote:
