Canadian GP, Pirelli strategy, Isola: "Dry two-stop race expected tomorrow"
To explain what it could be the right strategy to implement in the race, the head of Pirelli's motorsport area Mario spoke Island"The weather forecast the day before had rain during qualifying as the protagonist of the day and so it was. This allowed us to see both the Intermediates and the new Full Wets in action, after having tasted the latter in the final part of the Monaco Grand Prix."
“Dry track conditions are expected tomorrow but it is clear that the rain that has fallen so far will lead to a sort of reset in the asphalt conditions. From a strategy point of view, this could make the choice to make two stops even more competitive, starting with the Medium tires and using the Hard in the subsequent stints. La one stop – with Hard at the start and then Medium – it could be the option favored by those who will start in the second part of the grid, allowing you to exploit with greater flexibility all the eventualities that may occur on a track where the safety car has always covered many kilometers".
