It is common practice to monitor tyre temperatures, but after last year's events in the US, it was seen as even more important at Indianapolis this year - not only to ensure safety, but also to try and extract maximum performance from the tyres. During practice all the teams constantly monitored rear tyre temperatures in order to get a clear picture of their condition and wear ratio, while at the same time seeking the optimum compromise between the rubber's performance and reliability by varying suspension and aero settings.
