Code: Select all

25.4 Use of tyres : 
Tyres will only be deemed to have been used once the car’s timing transponder has shown that it has left 
the pit lane. 
 a)  Three sets of dry-weather tyres will be allocated by the FIA technical delegate to each nominated 
driver for use during P1 and P2, two of “prime” specification and one of “option” specification. These 
are the only dry-weather tyres which may be used during these sessions.
It may well be an interpretation issue. But "sets" are allocated. And I previously posted the FIA definition of a set.
Come back 747, we miss you!!

Agreed, it's strongly implied, but I don't see the place where it's actually demanded.
