graining

All teams have been suffering from a phenomenon known as 'graining', where the tyre surface tears and reduces grip on the newly resurfaced Monza track.

As a result, it is also expected to generate graining on the front tyres, where the surface tears, reducing grip.

More importantly, in a race expected to be dominated by tyre graining, Ferrari’s tyre wear has looked if anything better than Red Bull’s this weekend.

You can try some of the old techniques that are still used, such as satin brushing and circular graining.

Hamilton’s speed advantage was such that he was soon well clear of Bottas, whose rear right tire was graining.
