Ferrari has explained why it opted to put Charles Leclerc on hard tyres during Sunday's F1 HungarianGP, sparking his fall from fighting for victory to finishing sixth. Full story ⬇️

Ferrari F1 boss Mattia Binotto revealed the team's simulations said that while the hards would be tricky to get up to temperature early on, they were predicted to be the better tyre for the final stint.

"It would have been slower to the medium for 10-11 laps, and then it would have come back and been faster than the end of the stint, and it was a 30-lap stint. Leclerc said after the race that he wanted to hold on to the medium tyres for as long as possible, only to be called it for the hards. He was moved onto softs at his third stop, but could not catch the cars ahead.

Their main + for me is the option to use bigger volume tyres. I'm running 36mm tubeless. More comfort, haven't noticed any punctures, gives me option to use roads of 'questionable quality' & isn't slower. If they weren't any good then the pro teams wouldn't use them and the manufacturers wouldn't be offering nothing else.
