Do drivers change their tyres after the Quali for the race? or start with the same set they have done their last Quali round?

Good question! I am not too sure but since tyre changes are allowed, then they should be able to. However with the limit amount of sets allowed for each driver, the choice to replace their tyres would be limited.
