Best strategies at 53 Pirelli GP laps (Pirelli data)

All drivers in the Top 10 will start on soft tires. The fastest strategy for the 53 laps of the Italian Grand Prix is ​​a stop, starting soft and shifting to Medium after 24 laps (or vice versa).

The second fastest is still stationary, but this time using Soft for 22 laps and then Hard for 31 laps. Very close to these two, but with the great advantage of providing a wider window for the pit stop, there is the strategy that involves the Medium for 26 laps and the Hard for 27 laps. As always, the permutations are also valid in this case.

A two-stop strategy is much slower, but at best, best would include two 16-lap periods on Soft and a 21-lap period on Medium, possibly using Medium in between.

Mario Isola:Everything went very well in qualifying when it came to tires. We should see a one-stop race, but there are several possibilities for a one-stop that can be achieved, so different strategies are possible. Tomorrow’s top ten drivers on the grid will all start with Soft, leveling the playing field a bit, so it will be interesting to see how many drivers from 11th place down will decide to try something different starting with medium or hard for that. that should be a hot race. Mercedes was the only team to use Medium in qualifying where, with this exception, only Soft was always used. However, the harder compounds are destined to play a major role in the race. Also this weekend we saw another widely broken track record, but in this case it is especially significant as we are talking about the fastest circuit of all and our home race ”.
