Either that or team have screwed up.

Loeb had today morning 5 super softs,while all the others had 3 super softs + 3 softs.
the problem for Loeb was that he had to used these tyres for all 4 stages,while the others could rotate with softs
except that running a car with 3 softs and 1 ss doesnt slide so much,its much more grippier,so you protect better that 1 super soft you have on the car.
