Pirelli waiting for one or two pit stops

The race distance in Melbourne can be covered in one pit stop, but the likely safety car exit could contribute to the transition to two tire changes…

Mario IsolaPirelli: “We witnessed another tough fight in qualifying, with the drivers sometimes only a thousandth of a second apart, and the fate of pole position was decided in the final seconds. As expected, during qualifying, riders will only use soft tires, covering more than one lap, to get the most out of them.

Compared to Friday, the wind direction changed, affecting the aerodynamics of the cars, making their behavior less stable. What we saw in the qualifying testifies to the correctness of the decision to bring the compositions here “by one”, which made it possible to widen the gap between Medium and Soft. Albert Park’s typical race strategy is one pit stop with Medium and Hard lineups, but the race can be completely unpredictable.”
