Or perhaps a less boring race lol
There will be an incident I'm sure, so we won't want to burn rubber i don't think because those going long have a reasonable chance to benefit. Someone who.is a threat to us will do.that, Leclerc is often that man. So this limits us a little i think.
Hopefully its exciting, but just in case I'm bringing a pillow lol
I understand this notion and right now nothing is clear, everyone will roll the dice and today will be about luck as much as anything.
But, surely lando and the other front runners will start on softs to avoid being jumped into turn 1?
And if so I'd imagine that we dwont have to go too far down the grid to get a medium or hard runner? (Perhaps hadjar or even lewis)
If both of those is true then we will be forced to use the rubber to build a pitstop gap ASAP to pit into before the softs drop off and those medium/hard runners stay in front after first stops on slow and worn rubber going long?
Today is about getting both pitstops out the way whilst remaining as far up the running order as possible, that can only be done by pushing each stint rather than saving.
Of course it's not entirely that simple as any vsc, red flags, safety cars will alter that but that surely has to be the ideal strategy to work to from the off?
Aside from that we are at a slight disadvantage compared to Ferrari and redbull in that the other 2 will have both drivers working for the main driver out front. There's no way oscar will do that and therefore this complicates things for the team.
Will oscar let lando past if lando pits before him and is coming for behind fast?
