I suspect it is a combination of a lighter fuel load and the lower track temperatures but we may know in qualifying

i doubt it Ed,he'll go early,so v'll never know

Then we may know when he makes his first pit stop

A reason for not prefering such a qualifying system!

True!!

Next year should be based on lap times of Saturday free practise.Mayb aggregate of 2 fastest times.
Drivers would atleast then try to do fumes run atleast twice,which could be exiting.

The longer it takes them to decide on a new system the more likely we'll have just more tweaks of the existing one!
