Mercedes has been left a tyre outlier at the front of the F1 grid, with it locked into a potentially different strategy approach at the CanadianGP. ⬇️
It is understood that Mercedes opted for its tyre allocation, which is made after FP3, just in case the track dried out enough in qualifying for it to require slicks throughout. Having extra softs for those conditions could have been a big advantage.This option is especially intriguing because Pirelli’s head of F1, Mario Isola, says his company’s prediction remains that the best approach to the race is a two-stop race, starting on mediums and then going for two stints on the hard.
That two-stop approach is something that Mercedes will not have the option of going for, as it will be locked in to only one stint on the hard. “That would obviously be with a lighter car because in practice, don't forget, with the medium we had some graining.
