It was just the nature of the track and them not being able to get the tires into the correct operating temperature but that was down to the car than tire pressures.

    So let’s clarify what the minimum tyre pressures has been over the past few races:

    Belgium: Front tyres – 18.5 psi; Rear tyres – 20 psi

    Italy: Front tyres -19.5 psi; Rear tyres – 21 psi

    Singapore: Front tyres – 18 psi; Rear tyres – 17 psi

    Last year the front tyre limits were set by Pirelli at 16 Psi on the front. This has been raised by two Psi to 18 and the rear tyres must be at least 17 Psi.

    Pirelli raised the tyre pressures at Monza by 3 Psi when compared to 2014.
