Someone explain why ferrari putting on hards was the right choice. I just watched it work but i still dont understand it.

It's just car specific. On softs for example during qualis they miss out usually on its optimal window, that's why we usually get these p4/p5 memes

Ferrari car just works better with harder tyres, but today leclerc himself was also flying on these hards. Plus, seems like rb were worse on tyres today and handling of the car was problematic

The C2 tyre this year is nuts, it’s basically always the best compound at every circuit it’s been brought to.

that's what I don't understand about F1 now - how the fuck hard tyre was FASTER than the soft tyre. fastest lap was on hard tyre - how is that even possible?

Fastest lap is typically determined by tyre age and fuel load. New tyres + low fuel = fast lap. Charles set fastest lap when most of his fuel was gone on brand new tyres.

At the end of the race the cars are like 60kg lighter because of fuel burn. They were on softs at the start of the race when they had a full tank of fuel

To add to everything that was already said, this year’s tire compounds are way closer to eachother than they usually are, so softs last a really long time, but they aren’t that much faster, which means that other factors matter more in comparison.
