100 degree air must mean REALLY hot track temps. Does anyone know if the "soft" tire compounds change from race to race depending on predicted weather conditions? It would seem that tires meant to be really soft and sticky in 80 degree weather would practically melt in 100 degree weather.

Massa said today that the soft compound tires worked well with the Ferrari setup during winter testing in Bahrain. Don't forget, Massa has won twice in Bahrain - including a dominating win last year.

True but when they tested here in "winter" we had a few dust stormz come through... and I dont think they got as many laps as they would have liked
