Pirelli is waiting for one pit stop

Like last year, the fastest race strategy in Miami is one pit stop, starting on Medium and moving to Hard between laps 12 and 20.

Two pit stops are possible: start on Medium, move to Hard between laps 10 and 16, and then to Soft between laps 35 and 43.

Teams must take into account the high probability of the safety car leaving and the weather conditions – rain is possible.

Mario IsolPirelli: “Qualifying was exciting and dramatic, and in the top three everyone speaks Spanish this time – Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.

As expected, this year’s pole position was almost two seconds faster than last year’s (1.955 seconds to be exact), and it could have been even faster had the last session not been cut short due to red flags. The Soft tires performed well – as well as being fast on the first lap, they regained grip after one or two slow laps, helping the riders to improve their position.

The information gathered so far suggests that the strategy of one pit stop on the Medium – Hard schedule will be optimal. A slight reduction in the length of the pit lane opens up the possibility of two pit stops, but we’ve seen granulation from the soft tires on long stretches. But when it rains, anything can happen.”
