It seems that there are safety issues with the tyres this weekend. 3 mandatory pitstops and a maximum of 20 laps per set of tyres would be the solution if the damages are also found after the sprint race.

Amazing, has anything happened like this before with a required pit window?

Pretty interesting that tyre tech clearly hasn't kept up with the actual cars. They're even using the 3 hardest compounds already.

Yeah, that's interesting to me. That all 3 compounds have the issue.

I don't know! First time since 1963 that the track limits changed mid-weekend. I'm not aware of a limit placed on laps. Obviously 2006 USGP comes to mind but the manufacturers never admitted a problem ahead of time.
