I have to disagree, with quali as it is now, a heavy strategy has a chance if you have a good quali and you can hold onto the drs train in front.
If quali would be always bad for heavy strats, no one would keep running those, guiding players towards one single winning strat (supersofts) even more so then today.
I love the fact a heavier strat works from time to time which is why i voted no.
Git i’m not gonna discuss this, you can reply and waste syllables as much as you like, this is my opinion and i stand by it.

As said, of course you need to catch the train, but not being too much to the front is better for a heavy car as on the front the risk is high, with potentially dirty air effect, to end up having a gap after the first 2.x laps to first DRS, either having to waste lots of boost to still gain it or risk being the reason of the train splitting and the locomotive speeding away. Of course the further back the higher the risk being in the wrong train if someone else causes a split.
SuperSofts outqualify Softs already anyway, the added fuel in a Soft car doesn't change anything there. Also all those Supers find they may end up in the back if not going a bit lighter, means shortening a stint on a tyre often running a bit painfully short on life to be optimal for a given strategy in the first place. So I'd understand if the worries are more about people would just tend even more to just use Softs. But then using Supers opens chances again, especially as to Qualify to the front of the Softs pack people would've to run lighter than they used to and thus less range drawback by using Supers. Then there's going Medium, as weight kills Quali anyway and thus those extending their Soft stint won't fare much better on the grid, while those light Soft cars, as the Supers, often compromise and have to repay the lap debt later.
