Which tyre held up best?
Lap time trend by tyre age, relative to the start of each stint. Medium held up best; Soft lost 0.03 s per lap more as it aged.

- MMedium
Source: OpenF1 · Chart: paddockcharts.com
Median of all clean laps at each tyre age (excludes in/out laps, safety car and outliers; lightly smoothed; tyre ages reached by few stints hidden). Not fuel-corrected: cars get lighter as fuel burns, which hides part of the wear, so compare compounds with each other rather than reading absolute values. Below zero means fuel burn-off outweighed tyre wear.
