Formula 1 | Belgian Grand Prix, the strategies: two stops and a soft start is the most suitable

Il Belgian Grand Prix will see Charles Leclerc start from pole position, on the track, that of Spa-Francorchamps which saw him win for the first time in formula 1 in 2019. Alongside the pilot of the Ferrari yes there will be one Red Bull, but that of Perez. Second row for Hamilton e sainz, followed by Piastres e Verstappen. The two-time world champion had made a clean sweep in qualifying, but was penalized for having fitted a new gearbox beyond those required over the course of a season without incurring sanctions. The feeling is that the Dutchman will have no difficulty in recovering the positions, the only obstacle could be the start.

The forecast indicates that it shouldn't rain, but in the Ardennes the weather is very volatile and can change at any moment and unexpectedly. As for strategies, Pirelli recommends two stops with a soft start and a switch to medium, and then based on the pace and time of the race, returning to one or the other compound for the last stint. Two solutions even at a stop: starting with medium and switching to hard, or starting from the blocks always with the soft and going to the hard between laps 12 and 18.
