Simulating a full race stint, to examine tire wear and the balance of the car when it's heavier at the beginning of the stint.

They load the car with more fuel to get an idea how it will run in the race. They will run a number of laps.

On low fuel runs they are making qualifying simulations and only carry enough fuel for a lap (sometimes two if the tires need heat) of qualifying pace.

The cars are very weight sensitive so you will see some big differences in lap times depending on how much fuel they are carrying.

And on Q sim laps they aren't trying to save the tires, unlike race sim (high fuel) laps.

Lando's car is broken again.

Wasn't able to do a qualy sim. Won't be fully prepared for qualy coming up. He may quit mid-season.

By the grace of Michelob ultra and rowdy neighbors I’m still awake. Hoping for rain, the great equalizer!
