The C4 soft in 2026 is the most aggressive compound Pirelli have brought to a dry-condition race in years and I have mixed feelings. The first stint drama is excellent — nobody knows how many laps they can extract, strategies split 2-stop vs 3-stop, and the pit wall is guessing. But the delamination risk is real, we had two instances already, and a high-speed blowout is a catastrophic safety event waiting to happen. Pirelli say they're within limits. The teams are less sure. I want strategy chaos but not at the cost of someone hitting a barrier at 280km/h because their left rear let go without warning.

Jeddah is essentially a street circuit disguised as a permanent track and the walls remind you of that constantly.
