Tyres were not getting too cold, but rather they were not getting to optimal temperature. At those speeds we will have to waive as much just to keep them in temperature. So I do not see much benefit, while I see less tyre preparation challenge for quali.Anyway, if you feel like it is best, then good.As for the gear: can't we just agree on a speed? There are issues with charge consumption and rears slip in 2nd gear that may benefit a car over another. It seems easier to just say "keep it under 100kph and keep an eye on the map"...I reckon if we start from 80 with tyre warmers, and tyres slowly cool a bit over the lap, we'll start off with a closer to optimal temperature than starting from cold. There should be less need for weaving (which is always a bit dangerous, and it's also questionable how much that actually helps heat the tyre).2nd gear is like a defacto pit limiter. Like Bachuluum said, you don't have to bang it on the rev limiter, just cruise at close to redline. Even when we say "Keep it to 100", with the best of intentions cars still speed up over that. In 2nd gear, you won't be able to exceed some speed (which was a bit over 100, from memory).
