Lap times from P1 are mostly irrelevant as the teams had to change their programs to cope with severe lack of grip presented by the brand new asphalt. Pirelli had program to bring the Hard/Medium combo but protests (particularly from a very vocal MAS) made them to change instead to Med/Soft that are now showing blistering problems in the surface’s very high ...
