I read that 888 ... I read that 888 discovered thet were frying 1 of the back tyres on the Thursday,so? they adjusted the suspension to suit,they didn't share that info with the other teams for some reason though.......
I'm pretty sure Murph and Richards didn't have problems there either cause they didn't do a lot of stops either.
