Either that or team have screwed up.
And only about 7min of that first stage was dry, if it was just the tires shouldn't all of them have been like that after the stage just not one of them...? Looks like it's had too much air if you look at the middle, did Elena grab a smoke before the stage and forgot to lower the air pressure...
