Soft, medium, hard, fastest theoretical race time wins. In reality the decision tree is much deeper, and a lot of armchair strategists make decisions based on incomplete information.</p> <h2 id="what-teams-know-that-we-dont">What teams know that we don&rsquo;t</h2> <p>When you&rsquo;re watching at home you see the lap times and the tyre age on the broadcast. Teams have:</p> <ul> <li>Per-tyre temperature data (4 corners + carcass)</li> <li>Real-time tyre wear estimation from sensors</li> <li>Track temperature gradient over the race distance</li> <li>Driver feedback in real-time about grip levels</li> <li>Historical data on how that specific compound behaves at that specific track in similar conditions</li> <li>Live competitor pace and strategy projections</li> </ul> <p>This is why team radio calls sometimes look counterintuitive — they have data we don&rsquo;t.</p>
