Пирели за неделя


Марио Изола:
First and obviously foremost, we're just relieved that Romain Grosjean seems to have only minor injuries after the massive accident on the opening lap. Everything else that happened today is irrelevant in comparison, and it speaks so much about modern safety standards that this accident was survivable. In terms of the race, strategies were obviously influenced by the lengthy interruptions, with the delayed race taking place later in the evening. This meant that the soft tyre performed more strongly than anticipated, as Carlos Sainz showed in his first stint after the re-start, while the medium tyre stints could be extended too. This was demonstrated by Hamilton, who completed two quite long stints on it before finishing on the hard. Throughout the race, we saw a variety of different strategies, with Gasly stopping twice for two sets of hard tyres on his way to P6, for example. In Formula 2, tyre management was crucial, with the medium tyre playing a key role for some drivers. Deletraz was the only driver to start on medium before switching to hards, and he made this strategy work perfectly, resulting in one of those fightbacks through the field that have become a hallmark of Formula 2.
