Mario IsolPirelli: “The weekend in Monaco turned out to be an emotional one – both for the spectators in the stands and for those watching what was happening on TV or on the internet.
Just like a year ago, all five compounds brought to the race were used in Monaco, including the debut of a new rain tire that does not need to be warmed up in thermal covers. The first impressions of her work are as expected, but Monaco cannot be compared to other tracks.
When it was dry, there was a battle between two strategies – those who started on Medium and those who chose Hard – there were even more than we expected before the start. And only Guanyu Zhou chose soft tires for the start. In this battle, as always happens in Monaco, everything depended on the optimal timing for the pit stop.
Then it started to rain, which everyone knew about, but no one expected would turn out to be so strong. As a result, almost no one managed to avoid mistakes.
The first stint on the Medium proved to be much longer than expected – Verstappen completed 55 laps on this compound, the AlphaTauri drivers 53 laps and Lando Norris 50. On this track, tire management, even with granularity, must be performed depending on traffic conditions. and weather conditions we have seen today.
