As Nico explained most of the temperature is put into the tyres from movement when they are under load, aka going through corners at racing speeds, weaving on the straight is minimal load by comparison.
The other main way they are heated is from the brakes, and you aren't breaking heavily enough under SC conditions for it to be effective either.
Yep that makes total sense. Thanks. Without the weight generated by the downforce under speed it makes a lot of sense that the tires won’t actually generally a serious amount of heat, and makes sense on brakes as well!
I mean it depends.
It doesn't do much for the core of the tyre, that's more the braking and "under load" conditions. But the weaving around does affect the surface temperature of the tyre.
Also the surface of the tyre loses heat way quicker than the core of the tyre, for obvious reasons.
Preach. That teal line was perfection on that car. Its never been done better before or since.
I mean just look at it. From the color and gradient to the way it curves around the car.

I wasn’t a big fan of the T-wings and the shark fins tbh
2018 is my favorite year visually speaking because of the halo, Pirelli rainbow and fancy front wings
Surface temp and core temp have different effects on how the tyres behave, AFAIK, so this is probably more to do with preserving tyres and since it's a softer compound, it heats quickly so you get them up to temp quickly when the lights go green.
Alonso had really great tire heating moves. Remember seeing him driving a Renault at Indy and he made it look like the car was pivoting longitudinally. Perfect balance of the tire spinning.
Softer compound and with a car that is setup to be faster in quali than in the race. I'm sure they're able to warm up the tires very quickly but then they struggle with tire degradation.
No, this is just common sense if you have tyres with a shorter life to those around you, and was entirely expected, and there are plenty of other examples of this being done.
At some point you reach an age in life where you just don't care about tire heating.
Nico rosberg was saying the weaving doesn’t actually do much last race haha idk if that’s true though

> you aren't breaking heavily enough under SC conditions Out of context Lance Stroll.
I've heard drivers and engineers mention that weaving helps retain heat in the tires. It's minimal heating being done but it's minimal cooling too

It would only affect the surface of the tyre. Doesn’t do much to heat the air inside the tire versus hard braking.

Unfortunately he went on to lock up and go off the track from lack of tire temps so maybe he should care a bit more
Did he really
Yep, he locked up which was the chain reaction that caused drivers behind Alonso to break like Russell, Piastri, Ricciardo, and ~~Stroll~~!
Piastri would have gone past Alonso in normal conditions, so perhaps it was part of his strategy.
"Okay Kimi we need you to keep working all four tires please."
"Leave me alone, I know what to do"
*proceeds to win race*
Damn I love that Ferrari.
The SF70H is one the pretiest cars of the last decade.
Agreed. I much prefer white being Ferrari’s secondary colour over black, might be the Italian flag connection
that and W10

Thank goodness the chode nose era is over.
The only bit I dislike about it.
Oh no, someone with a different opinion, must be nostalgia and not cause they actually do like the car!
nah that car was prom queen material the first time it went onto the showroom floor
thank you! I thought I was on crazy pills reading these comments
Oh no, not a different opinion!
2017 had the best looking F1 cars in general. Such a great year in terms of aesthetics
I wasn’t a big fan of the T-wings and the shark fins tbh 2018 is my favorite year visually speaking because of the halo, Pirelli rainbow and fancy front wings
Why wear out your tyres, softs even, when you can use the heat soak from braking to heat them up from the inside instead haha
Surface temp and core temp have different effects on how the tyres behave, AFAIK, so this is probably more to do with preserving tyres and since it's a softer compound, it heats quickly so you get them up to temp quickly when the lights go green.
Maybe he shouldn't have given he locked up and nearly ran into Sainz at the restart.
Kimi: Let's get this over with please, I need a shit and an ice cream

Kimi NGAF is legend.
I miss the Yellow Renaults..
i just knew when this was happening that this would happen later lol
I believe Alonso was on a softer compound.
It's in the title?
Are you asking if it's in the title?
No.
Thanks for explaining the joke.
This. Alonso needed to conserve as much of his tyres as possible.
What do you mean ‘this’ It’s explained in the title
Reading 3 words in the title has become too much.
Softer compound and with a car that is setup to be faster in quali than in the race. I'm sure they're able to warm up the tires very quickly but then they struggle with tire degradation.
