Hmmm...so not much to see on strategy side? As last year the front runners will use either two C1 or two C2...while Ferrari and RB are bound to run two sets of C2.
yeah, looks like. Interesting that Russell didn't make a decision yet while Hamilton already committed on M-H-H, but that's about it.
I think that is just for FP3. Russel will do just like the RedBulls a Medium run in FP3 to prep for the race and then burn one set of Softs as preparation. The others like Ham or McLaren will prep more for Q on the Soft. Assuming that they really have a FP3, might still be cold and damp.
My bet is that after FP3 everyone will have three sets of Hard/Medium for the race.
I think this down to their confidence:
- McLaren is confident that they can handle the tire in the race just like last year. But need to work on the Q.
- Ham is not confident on Q.
- RedBull is not interested in Q and confident they win it if they get the race setup right.
