Have to agree with you there.
teams can now start with a different compound from the one they used in qualifying.
They can?
I didn't know that.
I think the difference between the two tyres was way too small, you couldn't even guess from the laptimes who is running what. The soft ones should be a lot softer, which should clearly show in the laptimes. They should be faster, but obviously not last as long as the harder ones. Now that might create something interesting.
What's the point of having two similar rubbers anyway? No one would've noticed it, if we didn't know everyone has to use them.
