In the past, drivers who finished in the top 10 were required to utilise the soft tyre since it was necessary to do so in order to advance from Q2 to Q3.
However, the regulations for this year's race omitted the restriction that drivers must start on the tyre with which they achieved their best time in Q2. This created the opportunity for drivers to start on the medium tyre and attempt to complete a longer first stint before switching to the hard tyre.Pirelli predicts that the strategy choices that will be made in today's race will be more diverse, while some commentators anticipate that the majority of the top racers will choose to go with mediums.Mario Isola, the boss of Pirelli Formula One, remarked, "We know that Monaco is a one-stop." "But if there wasn't a need to start with the tyres that were used in Q2, perhaps we'd have a different strategy for the race, with certain competitors beginning on the soft tyres and others starting on the medium tyres.
"I believe that most of the vehicles made the decision to start on the soft tyre in Barcelona because the difference in lap time between the soft and the medium tyre was rather significant, and also because they wanted to defend their position. In addition to this, the difference in the delta lap time was significantly larger than the difference in the level of degradation, which was not nearly as significant."Therefore, in order to safeguard the position, they made use of the soft. If it is established here that the difference between the soft and the medium is significantly reduced, and if the degradation is obviously modest in Monte Carlo, then it is possible that we have a mixture of cars starting on the medium and the soft.
"In this race, as opposed to the one in Barcelona, there are a few aspects that are different, the first of which is the delta lap time. The second issue is that getting ahead of someone else here is quite challenging. In Barcelona, there are a few different spots where it is possible to pass other vehicles. At this point, passing is a difficult proposition.
Pirelli expects that a mix of soft and medium starting Formula 1 tyres will be seen on the grid at today's Monaco Grand Prix.
