This is expected to be an easy one-stop race, safety cars permitting, probably with a strategy starting on the medium tyre and then switching to the hard, although some will doubtless fancy starting on the hard for added flexibility in terms of safety car windows. It’s been pushed to a one-stop, despite the tyre selection being the three softest compounds, because of the long pit-stop time of about 29 seconds.
Drivers might, as a result, be keen to try to make - or defend - places at the first corner, which has one of the longest approaches of the season. But the kerbs there are prone to damage cars, so team bosses may be counselling prudence. Can McLaren or Ferrari challenge Max Verstappen? They were both faster in the race-simulation runs on Friday, but Red Bull have improved their cars since then.
