Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Formula 1 drivers and teams are once again debating the best tyre compounds for qualifying due to the introduction of the new C6 compound and Pirelli’s aggressive tyre selection. The softest tyres should offer more performance over a single lap, but the difference between the C6 and C5 is small, and high temperatures could lead to overheating issues with the C6 during qualifying. Some teams, like Alonso’s at Imola, may consider saving a set of mediums for better performance. Following the strategies at Imola and Monaco, more teams are exploring the use of medium compound tyres for qualifying, potentially gaining an advantage. With the uncertainty around tyre performance and management, drivers are cautious about optimal traction and speed on the soft tyres, considering potential degradation issues during the race. Despite the challenges, teams are strategizing and evaluating tyre options to find the best setup for a competitive performance in Montreal.
