During qualifying, teams are limited in what compounds they can use in dry conditions. Teams are required to use the hard compound during Q1, the medium compound during Q2, and finally they can use the softs during Q3.

Exactly, so it seems that F1 saving a few sets of tires per weekend is really just paying lip service to sustainability.

They should just be honest and say that they are making this change because they just want something different.

If it works, then they can keep it and market it as a sustainability initiative (with benefits to on-track drama).

If it doesn't, it's just a test to see what happens.
