Formula 1 News: Pirelli expects 2 pitstops for today’s Austrian GP

According to Pirelli’s calculations, two pit stops will be required for today’s Austrian GP Formula 1 race at the Red Bull Ring.

A mix of C3 and C4. Clearly, those who chose to use extensively, and therefore give back a set of C3s, will favor the Medium more, while the others will have a greater degree of flexibility.

A one-stop is not a realistic choice, not because of tire wear, but in terms of degradation and pace, although a three-stop could work if there is a Safety Car in the second part of the race, or if degradation is higher than expected. In this case, even the C5 could come into play, albeit not in a major way.”
