It looks like they did not allow enough for the high temperatures at the circuit, and simply got it wrong. Perhaps they did not expect the cars to change so early in the race, so had drawn up the life for a lighter fuel load, again, they got the window wrong.
again, that’s all stuff teams will have seen in their modelling and tests. you adjust tyre pressures to suit track temperature even before they’re out of the blankets, that’s what the tyre guys do with themselves once everything is fitted..

tyres are the only component they evidently don’t “life” militarily. why? they can blame someone else for failures because they’re given guidelines.
