That's why Pirelli is testing new 'oval' tires.
ICYMI, there's good screensaver stuff from testing.

Sectors times went purple to Lance Stroll S1 21.744 (FastestQ3 - 2019 21.284) S2 28.536 (FQ32019 - 28.040) and Verstappen 26.835 (FQ32019 - 25.878)
Ultimate lap 2019: 1:15.202
Ultimate lap Day 5: 1:17.115 (1.913 slower)
Here are the times from today's race simulations:
For comparison, last year LH averaged 22.547 in his first stint (all times are missing the first 60 seconds).

Way too much information!
Are you going to incorporate all these data into our fantasy league when you come up with the prices?

Cars are officially faster than they were at Qualifying last year.
The RP is looking fast on one-lap pace.
The Mercedes are obviously sandbagging, but it looks like they have a major advantage towards the end when running light.
From the length of the stints on the simulations, it seems like all teams have shortened their first stint, but Mercedes can run a much longer "last stint", so maybe their DAS is a really effective tool for opening up race strategies.
From looking at that table, what does Barcelona S3 favor? Top end or mid-speed cornering? Because that's where most gains came from.

Barcelona S3 favors mechanical grip, it's a tight section.
