The Silverstone Circuit hosts the 12th round of the 2024 F1 world championship – but what strategies will we likely see throughout the race?
George Russell will lead the British Grand Prix at Silverstone from pole position, with Lewis Hamilton beside him on the front row. The possibility of rain at the circuit may impact race strategy decisions. Teams and drivers have the option of a one-stop strategy, beginning on the Soft compound and switching to the Hard compound around lap 16 or opting for the Medium compound for the second stint. Alternatively, they can start on the Medium compound, switch to the Hard compound around lap 24, and then use the Soft compound for the final stint. Weather will be the key factor, with the choice between a one-stop or two-stop race depending on track conditions. Pirelli’s Mario Isola emphasizes the importance of flexibility in strategy and tire choices based on weather conditions.
