Remind me again - is this a mandatory 2-stop, or is it a mandatory 3 tire compounds?There's a lot more variation than usual in the teams' tire availability for race day. McLaren sitting pretty with two sets of new hards and one set of new mediums. Pirelli doesn't say how old the used tires are but some may just be scuffed for a lap or two.
If its 3 tire compounds, having the extra hards won't matter much, but if it's just a mandatory 2-top, and 2 tire compounds, that could be a factor.
I think the timing of safety cars will be a bigger impact than tire choices.
