Remember that it is much easier (and won't cost as much time) to warm up your tires than cooling your tires. If your tyres are too cool you will lose time and your tyres degrade faster. If your tyres are too hot you wont get performance boost from pushing and your tyres will degrade faster. Try to keep your tyre temperatures right in the middle of the scale because that is the optimal place to be if you want good tyre wear and fast lap times. You have to know when to push and when to back off. Key to extending your stints is that you have to find the right mixture of pushing and tyre wear without hurting your tyre temperatures or your lap times too much. If you can, use both compounds because they will act differently. That knowledge will become very helpful in the race. Use the limited session time well so you know how your tires work under different driving styles. What you have to remember is that If you cant do long stints because there is only 9-10 laps of fuel the prime tyres are almost pointless because you can do same with option tyres and option tyres are obviously faster. You will need more soft compound tyres than the harder compounds ones especially if you have stock fuel rules (40% of the race distance). If the rules include choosing the number of sets of dry tyres available for the whole weekend i usually go for 9 sets of the Option (softest) compound and 6 sets of Prime (harder) compound tyres. Track You Race on (Tondela is probably the hardest on tyres and Ardennes is easiest).
