Formula 1 is preparing to experience the sixth round of the season next week. You fly to Monaco, on a track that represents the true history of this sport, with one of the most glamorous weekends of the season.
Pirelli postpones the qualifying format
With the elimination of the Imola GP, Pirelli did not have the opportunity to launch the new qualifying format. The idea The proposal from the company tire supplier in Formula 1 was based on the obligation of the drivers to perform Q1 with hard rubber, Q2 with medium rubber and Q3 with soft rubber. At Imola, the first of the two tests available during this season was to be held. The objective of the format is very clear and concerns sustainability: in doing so, the teams will have 11 sets of tires available instead of 13.
Which stage is the best?
If Imola has been cancelled, the question arises spontaneously: when will this format take place? Today it is very difficult to say. Monaco certainly doesn't represent the best track on which we can have truthful feedback. In Spain however, as he suggests Motorsport.com, there will be many stables that will bring new elements. For that reason, it seems difficult for Pirelli to choose Montmelò as a test track. Austria and Belgium are also to be discarded, considering that on both weekends it is scheduled the new format of Sprint.
Hungary is valued
To give an answer is the Motorsport Magazine. Based on what is said, in fact, Formula 1 has decided together with Pirelli to evaluate the new qualifications at the Hungarian Grand Prix on 21-23 July. Let's talk about the only stage of the calendar available, together with Canada (June 18), to test the new qualifications before the summer break scheduled for the last Grand Prix in July, in Spa, on the 30th. So will the Hungaroring be the chosen stage? All that remains is to wait for further confirmations from Pirelli, which will not be long in coming.
