Yes. But the real problem is teams aren't going out on Friday in order to save their allotments. Sure, it rained this time on Friday, but word was, the teams were going to limit their running anyway. Thus, less cars on track for the fans.
BTW, it was supposed to be first tried out at Imola. So, it was supposed to be done three times this year. They decided not to sub in another race to replace the Imola experiment.
As repeatedly emphasised by Pirelli, which described the debut as “positive”, this is not a ‘spicing up the show’ measure. It is a sustainability measure to cut the number of race weekend tyres used by some 3840 units over the course of a full 24-race season.
