The FP1 to the FP2, times in track fell logically through the deposit of rubber by cars. It is something which happens every weekend in Grand Prix in Monaco is more noticeable. The streets of a city are not well suited for they driving cars, but if it's Monaco with his peculiar orography and its "used" asphalt, the differences are greater. The lack of grip is noticeable a lot Thursday, but recovers enough to the FP2 FP1.
It is interesting to see two things, for me, this weekend. First, the appearance of the superblandas tires, second look at the worksheet of the teams. Of what we have seen, of course. Of the superblandas (hereinafter 'option' call them) what we see is that they actually give about 1.6 seconds (on average) with regard to 'prime them'. But they give more and we will see after the table of comparative time and progression between sessions of all the drivers.
The 'option' last well over what has been predicted Pirelli. They said 10 laps, but Fernando Alonso has given 11, Felipe Massa 14, Sebastian Vettel 23 laps, and at a rate of 18 high exceptions. It is possible to therefore have two paradasLos strategies with the 'option' times are good in the first released back, but they can be improved in the second or the third, and more beyond. This pace of FP2. But at least it seems that there are two good rounds, that the classification will leave us to see more savings, but most chicha in the Q3, I hope!Jenson Button also completed more than 20 laps with the 'option', but his best time in the stint was in the round 16Lewis Hamilton completed 9 laps (eight "in time" most of the deceleration), but we do not know if he found too much traffic and aborted, or is it desgasto the 'option' before time
Putting together all these annotations we see interesting things. For example, be careful with Jenson Button and its extremely smooth driving and how it will manage the tires in the streets of Monaco. We also see that the 'option' is kept reasonably stable inside of each stint, degrade, but it is something progressive so that you can mark a nearly constant rate during 15 or 20 laps. And a rhythm that media are we talking about 1: 18. 5, approximately.
There is surely a compromise in all of this data. It is the 1:15.1 of Alonso and the 1:18.5 of media with the stint of the 'option'. It is the traffic of Monaco and the fact that on Sunday there will be lot more rubber than yesterday and today (which is not nothing in track). We have information and data in hand to confirm on Saturday, either discard arguments and learn something new. Yes I am sure is that this time you can go to two stops, we are going to see a strategic struggle more accentuated, and it seems that the classification we will not see much savings rubber as in Spain.
