How long do Michelin race tires and qualifying tires take to reach full potential?
Obviously this depends on track layout, surface, weather conditions and so on, but on average we would say that a race tire takes one or two laps before it reaches its maximum potential, while a qualifying tire reaches its maximum potential after maybe three corners. If we give a rider a really soft qualifier we ask him not to give 100 per cent during his out lap. To save the tire, we ask him to give 100 per cent only a couple of corners before the start of his first flying lap. It’s important to try hard through those corners to gain maximum speed down the start-finish on his fast lap.
