Why the deg is high here? Is it just because the tarmak is too hot?
Temperature, new tarmac, and most importantly saw tooth edging on the corners that the drivers are all over. Only place with that type of edging and it's eating the tyres
As well as the points the other replies have made, it's also in the desert so the sand generally adds to the tyre degradation too
@xooolooov @formula1 I think also the high speed corners play a role in this
