About those tyre temps…
Nobody notice how tyre CORE temp is always higher than the outside temp? Nowadays my tyres are above 102 degrees after couple laps, while my surface temp is 68 degrees or something, and even if I bur...

@ScarDuck14 Where do you base that on? The tyre core temp will never be this far off (+20 degrees) of surface temp, that’s not possible because then the tyre will get blistering. And blistering happens when the INSIDE is hotter than the outside, and the tyre will start falling apart at these levels of difference. You forget that the brakes heat the rim first (which is also 18 inches so more surface to heat, and F1 brakes can dissipate heat way more faster and efficient than road cars) so you overestimate how extreme the tyre warming from braking is (since rear brakes are almost non existent since the mgu-K does a lot here with engine braking brake migration)
And a tyre will cool on straights yes, but not as extreme as this. The moment I do a burnout and stop, temps are already going DOWN, while in fact the surface at that moment should still be going up seeing rubber gradually heats, especially towards the end of a burnout. It should go up extreme, and when I stop, it should slow down but still go a bit up until the max.
I’m a very extreme tech guy so I do understand the workings and effects on braking and friction on surface, but you forget a lot of other factors in play which are of a lot of influence on temps.
And whats happening here is nowhere near realistic.

@Iceman038-NL Blistering happens when the core temperature is too hot for the tire construction, meaning way above the operating window. Blistering is, when due to that heat the inner layers of the tires soften and crack open. It does not have much to do with the surface temperature.
And if you mean graining, then it's quite the opposite. Graining happens when the surface temperatures reach high temperatures compared to a cold core temperature.
And either way, the fluctuations may be too quick, but they are realistic.
