    The pit strategy is one stop and hope the neigh inevitable safety car doesn’t play into someone else’s favor

      Hey now, there doesn’t have to be a safety car. It could also be a red flag!

      I feel like Pirelli might have possibly been too conservative again with the tires. C3s last year could basically last the whole distance if I remember right. And graining seems to be even less of a problem this year.

        I mean it doesn’t get softer than this in the range? So idk what else Pirelli could do besides slightly lower mandated pressures

              Good riddance too as that C0 was useless and awful every time they rolled it out - which in fairness wasn’t often.

              The C6 is supposed to be for street tracks with low deg so in theory this should be a perfect occasion for it. But I think Pirelli are too scared of a puncture around here and so we’ll get another boring one stopper instead.
