So, as previously discussed, there'll be 5 tyres created for next year - including the new ultrasoft purple rimmed tyres.
The FIA announced today there'll be 3 types taken to each race. Pirelli will select 2 for the race (one which must be used). The softest tyre will be used for Q3.
The other 10 sets will be chosen by the teams.
That should reduce some of the prescriptiveness associated with the strategies. It could well give the silver clad mathematicians something to think about other than "Lewis, just do it."
F1 needs an element of sub-optimality (as Ron Dennis would say) to keep it interesting. It could well change the dynamic of Q2 if some take the risk. Hopefully.
