Tayar mudah hilang cengkaman di Litar Gilles Villeneuve

Beberapa pelumba telah menyatakan rasa kurang senang akibat dari masalah graining yang mereka hadapi semasa menggunakan tayar option super soft dan menyifatkan memandu menggunakan tayar option super soft ibarat meluncur di atas ais manakala Kovalainen melalui twitter beliau menyifatkan ianya ibarat memandu Rally di atas salji di Finland. Malahan Button yang terkenal sebagai pelumba yang mahir mengawal kadar graining pada tayar juga mengadu masalah yang sama dan mengakui amat sukar mengawal jentera selepas 3 lap semasa menggunakan tayar option super soft

 On the option tyre it's unbelievable. With the graining I had on the option tyre, I had to come in. But I think a lot of people had the same experience, except perhaps the Red Bulls, so it's going to be an interesting one. I don't think you'll be seeing a long first stint on the option tyre, that's for sure. - Lewis Hamilton

Kamui Kobayashi pula berkata kurangnya cengkaman di antara tayar super soft dan permukaan litar adalah masalah besar yang di alami semua pasukan dan meramalkan  sesi kelayakan masa akan menjadi sesi  kelayakan masa lottery  jika semua pasukan menggunakan tayar option super soft

 the lack of grip was a major problem and both tyre compounds degraded very quickly -  Kobayashi

Alonso pula berpendapat; keadaan litar akan bertambah baik menjelang sesi kelayakan dan perlumbaan dan masalah graining pada tayar hanyalah masalah yang bersifat sementara

 The soft tyre degrades very easily, but today is only Friday and the track conditions will change a lot between now and Sunday -  Fernando Alonso

Dan pengarah pembangunan tayar motorsport Bridstone Hirohide Hamashima telah mengeluar satu statement ekoran dari aduan yang diterima dari pelumba 

The dirty track surface here and the cooler than usual temperatures meant that graining was today’s talking point. The tyres were not able to work to their full potential due to not reaching their best operating temperature. This meant the tyres were sliding, causing transverse graining on front tyres from braking and transverse graining on the rears from traction demands.

We expect that the track surface will continue to improve with more rubber laid, and the graining will diminish. Weather forecasts also predict warmer temperatures which will be beneficial too. However, there is rain included in these forecasts so there is potential for this to be a very interesting weekend in terms of maximising tyre performance potential. - Hirohide Hamashima
