During qualifying, teams are limited in what compounds they can use in dry conditions. Teams are required to use the hard compound during Q1, the medium compound during Q2, and finally they can use the softs during Q3.

    So the best teams get through? Even fewer chances of underdogs making the right tyre calls and getting through to q2/q3?

      Yeah, I’m not really sure how this would make qualifying results much different. I suppose drivers/cars that are better able to get heat into tires are more likely to move beyond Q1?
