softs

Nearly all the drivers stopped for tyres, and Russell, Leclerc and Norris came out on three different compounds - Russell on softs, Leclerc on hards and Norris on mediums.

McLaren did their first runs on medium tyres in the first session to try to save softs for later but it seems to have harpooned Piastri.

Fernando Alonso seems pretty happy with softs, or at least says he is as he seems keen to avoid having to stop again.

Unlike almost all the other teams they have not given the softs a go.

Let's see what the Silver Arrows can pull out of their next softs runs.
