Pirelli: The fastest strategy is one pit stop.

      Pirelli considers one- and two-stop strategies equally effective at Silverstone, but much depends on the weather...

      Mario Isola: "Silverstone always provides us with great spectacle, and today was no exception. The qualifying result was decided only in the final minutes when Verstappen showcased his skill and outperformed very strong opponents. Everything indicates that the race will be no less tense – immediately six drivers will compete for victory and podium positions.

      On the simulator, the difference between one and two pit stops is very small, about two to three seconds. The strategy choice will mainly depend on the car's characteristics and tire wear. The fastest option is one pit stop with a Medium-Hard scheme, with tire changes between 19 and 25 laps. Those opting for two stops, using the same C2 and C3 compounds, should first pit between 12 and 18 laps, and then between 32 and 38 laps.

      During the race, it is important to monitor tire wear and graining, which we expect if the temperature remains similar to today's – about ten degrees lower than on Friday.

      All three tire compounds are suitable for the race. Clearly, Hard and Medium will provide more stability over the long run, but Soft can also play a role – both at the start, for those looking to gain positions, and in the final stage.

      It should be noted that four teams – Aston Martin, Williams, Haas, and Racing Bulls – have only one set of Hard and Medium tires each for the race. This could indicate a preference for a one-stop strategy. However, if wear is higher than expected or a safety car appears on the track, Soft tires could become an obvious choice for these eight drivers.

      The C4 compound demonstrated that on a circuit of this type, it can realize its potential from the first attempt. The time on the second or third fastest lap was quite respectable, but the advantage of the new tire over the used one was significant.
