It is amazingly hot right now in Australia, and the big question is: will the tires survive this kind of heat?
The temperature reached 39 degrees C in the Formula 1 paddock yesterday. Several drivers and engineers are now wondering if the types of tires Bridgestone brought in Melbourne - Soft and Medium - will be able to endure the intense heat.
Renault's Fernando Alonso pinpointed that last year the temperature was only 20 degrees and drivers used the very same two types of tires. This may produce a very interesting Grand Prix on Sunday.
