Formula 1 News: British GP Race Strategies assuming rain stops

It is pouring buckets at Silverstone this morning ahead of the British GP and the Formula 2 race start has been delayed due to heavy spray.

Assuming it dries out in time for the start of the Formula 1 British GP at 10:00am ET, here are the dry tire pit strategies developed by Pirelli.

Pirelli love it when there’s a genuine dilemma between one and two stops, and bringing the C2, C3 and C4 this weekend may well provoke that sort of quandary.

In these cooler temperatures, with degradation being more manageable, the fastest way to the flag looks like being a medium>hard one-stop. The optimum pit window in this 52-lap Grand Prix is relatively wide, falling between Laps 19-25.
