Tire Stints
Does anybody remember the order of tire stints for Ferrari Mclaren and BMW at Bahrain? I.e. soft soft hard etc.

I think its 4 tyres, 4 tyres and maybe also 4 tyres. :
When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

And why not start on the hards? Any backmarker team starting on the hards would have been able to dump them in favour of the softs during the safety car period and not really lose anything...
With the new tire rules I would have expected some teams to roll the dice
Perhaps Bridgestone should have brought softer tires, so that they would be faster, but not last as long, so that the tire decision isn't so easy...The Preceding post may have contained nudity, sexuality, violence, coarse language and Jacques

I was originally trying to see what the lap time differences were between stints, and what could be attributable to tires/fuel load etc.
Seemed like there was some statement RE all the top teams being on the same strategy ssh, and 444.

Massa could afford to 1 stop in Australia because the Ferrari is light years ahead of most teams.
Starting on a hard tyre and relying on the SC period, well, you never know if or when the SC will ever appear.
So far, the softer tyres have the tyres to use at the start because you need the grip to overtake as many cars as can at the first phase of the race, which is what both Massa and Ant mentioned recently.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
