Official tire supplier Pirelli has announced the number of tires each driver can use and the expected tire strategy for the 2023 F1 Round 11 British Grand Prix. Pirelli has nominated compounds C1 (hard), C2 (medium) and C3 (soft) for Silverstone, the stage of Round 11. If the race is dry, the use of two compounds will be mandatory.
The fastest tire strategy is 2 stops connecting soft-medium-soft. In that case, the 11th to 17th laps will be the first pit stop window. However, there is no new software left for drivers on the top grid, and it is possible that one stop, starting with medium and replacing with hard, will become mainstream. A medium-hard-soft 2-stop or a hard-soft 1-stop is also an option for drivers who keep the new softs. Mario Isola, Pirelli Motorsport Director: “As is often the case when track conditions change quickly, today was a busy, exciting and interesting day. Some drivers tried to run longer distances with more fuel to gather data on tire behavior, but the rain didn’t give them much time. I was able to learn more regarding ito tires and calculate my crossover time with slick tires (112%) on a demanding track like Silverstone, judging by the comments from the teams and drivers. , everything seems to be going as expected, both in terms of warm-up and machine balance.The track conditions improved rapidly throughout qualifying, gradually drying up, and the positions were constantly changing until the checkered flag.Everyone on soft tyres. and the C3 was considerably cooler than yesterday in both air and track temperatures, considering the drivers chose to wait a few minutes for the green light in the fast lane of the pits and did not benefit from the blanket. It’s been a great warm-up, tomorrow’s race is supposed to be in dry conditions but the weather forecast around here is traditionally always a little hit and miss, strategically the C3 is becoming an increasingly strong option, Two-stops will probably be the fastest option, which means teams will have different choices and expect more excitement and uncertainty.”
