I think that generally speaking the rear wheels tend to run with little or no camber, as they do more work with the vehicle in a straight line, as opposed to the front wheels.

 

I believe however, that there could be something in this.

 

If it is something to do with the exhaust heating the tyres, this would need to be evenly done, otherwise you will have hotspots, it would also need to be well managed as exhausts get far hotter than you would ideally like the tyres to be.

 

Could it be to do with sitting on the grid longer than normal, and hence creating a hot spot? maybe the wrong engine mode for the warm up lap, leading to excess heat? It did seem to me that the cars were on the grid for longer than normal, but that could be me.

 

Certainly not one to rule out until the people who know what they are doing pipe up!
