Technique guideline for the Italian Grand Prix

F1 Grand Prix, GP Italy, Autodromo Nazionale di Monza

Even with Pirelli’s unique Different Tyre Allocation for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, points are fairly very clear as significantly as the tactic is involved with all indications pointing towards a solitary-cease tactic at today’s Monza F1 race. F1Technical’s senior author Balázs Szabó analyses the doable race methods for the Italian Grand Prix.

For the higher-velocity circuit that is usually referred to as the Temple of Velocity, Pirelli introduced the softest finish of its selection: the C3 is becoming employed as P Zero White difficult, C4 as P Zero Yellow medium and C5 as P Zero Crimson delicate. These are the softest compounds in the Pirelli Formulation one selection, currently nominated for 5 other race weekends so significantly this period, albeit largely on road circuits or gradual tracks like the Hungaroring.

The minimal beginning pressures will be fairly higher the moment yet again as groups require to adhere to a minimal of 24.five psi for the entrance tyre and 22.five psi for the rear tyres. The camber boundaries are established at -three.00° at the entrance and -two.00° at the rear.

The Different Tyre Allocation very first arrived into drive at the Hungarian Grand Prix exactly where it massively challenging points for groups and motorists. The reduction from thirteen to just eleven sets intended that absolutely everyone required to take into consideration cautiously how they employed the various sets throughout the weekend.

This weekend noticed the unique allocation return for the 2nd time this calendar year. As a result, it was anticipated that motorists will have one more tricky weekend with minimal functioning and some surprises were being also anticipated to materialize in qualifying. Having said that, groups appeared to have discovered from the Hungarian Grand Prix, and they managed to get employed to the new structure for the 2nd time it arrived into impact.

Commenting on the classes from this weekend, Pirelli’s Motorsport Director Mario Isola stated: “On the tyre entrance, these two times have found us demo the ATA structure the moment yet again, this time in secure climate. The groups and motorists have demonstrated that they have tailored rapidly to the various issues this has designed in phrases of tyre use, devoid of influencing the on observe exercise”

Just one-cease tactic the moment yet again?

As for the race tactic, tyre degradation is normally fairly very low all-around the five.8km Autodromo Nazionale Monza.
Final calendar year, there were being no less than 8 various methods deployed by the leading ten finishers. Max Verstappen and George Russell (very first and 3rd respectively) opted for a solitary cease, though Charles Leclerc – who completed 2nd – experienced currently manufactured two stops in advance of a protection vehicle toward the finish of the race permitted all a few motorists to cease yet again.

Pirelli thinks that there will be no surprises currently when it arrives to tactic. The a single-cease tactic is anticipated to change out as the chosen a single. There are various elements that push groups toward the the very least selection of stops. The major cause is the aforementioned very low degradation that is aided by the absence of higher-velocity corners. On top of that, the fairly prolonged pit lane prospects to a substantial time decline. Furthermore, overtaking is really considerably doable at Monza, but doable DRS trains – a team of motorists get caught driving one more – can come about that can seriously influence the final result of the race.

Thinking of all the specifics and the tyre analyses obtained about the follow periods, Pirelli thinks that the finest tactic to the 74th Italian Grand Prix is to begin on the medium compound, full a stint of all-around twenty-26 laps in advance of switching to the C3 Really hard compound.

A related, but much more intense tactic is to selected the delicate compound as the beginning tyre for a stint of fourteen-twenty laps in advance of swapping them for the white-walled hards.

A two-cease is also doable for motorists with really superior leading velocity that can assist them do the job their way by way of the discipline on fresher tyres. It would prompt motorists to begin on the purple-walled C5 compound in advance of finishing two stints on the yellow-banded medium tyres.

Talking about the methods, Isola extra: “Seeking in advance to tomorrow’s race and doable methods, we can affirm that a solitary cease is the fastest choice, with the Really hard compound becoming the major protagonist.

“It stays to be found if some will determine to begin on the Medium to have much more adaptability, with a superior degree of grip at the begin, or danger beginning on the Delicate to attempt and make up spots in the early phases. The two-cease tactic is conditioned by the simple fact the pit lane is really prolonged and hence time is misplaced at each and every pit cease, but it could be a legitimate decision if the race is neutralised at any issue.”
