Formula 1 | Pirelli, single-stop strategy for the Monaco GP

Probable single-stop strategy in the next Monaco Grand Prix, the sixth round of this 2019 Formula 1 world championship. Despite the C3, C4 and C5 range brought by Pirelli to the Principality track, in fact, the wear suffered by the teams on the tires proved to be extremely low during Thursday and yesterday's sessions, an aspect that will almost certainly create a certain level between the teams regarding strategies.

Precisely in this sense, the most followed path could be the SOFT – MEDIUM one, with the first and only stop set just before the halfway point of the race. However, the solution that Ferrari will choose to adopt with Charles Leclerc should be followed carefully, given that the Monegasque could reverse the compounds, carrying out the first run of the race with the medium compound.

Obviously, the safety car danger should not be underestimated, an aspect that could change the situation during the Grand Prix. Appointment at 15.10pm for the start of this Monaco Grand Prix.

“The soft compound was used from the beginning to the end of qualifying, with temperatures slightly higher than in recent days,” declared Mario Isola at the end of yesterday's qualifying. “We expect a one-stop race, unless there is some unforeseen event or more degradation occurs.”

“Depending on the strategy, we might see different levels of tire management: for example, with a longer first stint on soft, or a longer second stint on medium,” he added. “On this track, tactics are often influenced by safety car periods, an element that could prove decisive.”
