Let's talk about tyres

Harder tyres should be able to push harder when the outside temperature is higher.

Yes! We would love more difference in compounds.

No! Embrace the Soft Domination.

So.... Just had a race at Monza, Italy.

Temperature: 30°C
Race: 100% 
Speed: 2x

On the first stint I made a mistake going out on softs, after a few laps the temperatures were red hot every corner at PL1. 

Under the impression hot tyres would slow down drastically i opted to pit for Mediums. After a few laps mediums were getting around 1/4th in the red zone on PL1. But to my surprise the 3 guys in front are faster on overheating sofs than my hot mediums.

I kept an eye on the times but sadly did not gain any or a lot of time to those in front. For the 2nd (3rd) full stint I tried the hard tyre compound. Based on my experience some time ago in hot races the hards could overcome the time disadvantage by being able to utilize a higher push level.
To my surprise, even the hard compound tyres are overheating at PL2 leaving me with a slow tyre and no ability to push them harder as one might expect to be able to.

I'd love to see if we could make this a suggestion to change the differences between compounds. This would also make races a little more exiting and the ability for different tactical master plans for a race win.
