"...Oh, it seems some drivers are not on greens today. A surprising decision to start on softs for a few drivers, and I must admit, it's rather shocking to see them take such a risk in these conditions."
"...Indeed, this could either be a stroke of genius or a disaster. The track is drying up fast, but with that drying comes the potential for a lot of instability. Those on soft tires might have a temporary advantage—better grip early on, quicker acceleration, but once the track truly dries out, those softs will degrade at an alarming rate. This could really throw a wrench in their strategies as the race progresses, especially if the track continues to dry out quicker than expected."
The drivers not currently on intermediates were Ailbeart Moireach, Javier Montez, Mikhail Petrov, Jimmy Damgaard, and Elias Nyström. All fifteen others were running with the expected intermediates, just like Luca.
