• Tyre warm-up protocol on cold tracks: the engineering problem everyone forgets

    Saturday morning sessions at European tracks: ambient temperature 8-11ยฐC. The compounds require 78-82ยฐC working window. Getting from cold to working temperature in out-lap plus installation lap requires very specific cornering load patterns. Teams that miss the window on Q1 are in trouble before they've started.
