F1 team pinpointed who are best-placed to master new rule at Monaco Grand Prix
The new rule at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix requiring two pitstops will be a challenge for team bosses, as it breaks the usual strategy of one pitstop at the tight Monaco circuit. Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz predicts that the outcome will be determined by events after the second stops, suggesting Aston Martin may benefit from this change based on their past strategic success. Despite Aston Martin’s recent unexpected qualifying performance at Imola, the team has struggled in previous races and hopes for a podium finish. There is a debate among experts about the FIA’s new rule, with some expressing concerns about its artificial nature while others see it as adding excitement and variability to the race. Former driver Jenson Button supports the new rule, highlighting the strategy challenges it presents and the potential for different approaches to emerge during the race. Additionally, commentator Martin Brundle sees the rule as a positive change that introduces more unpredictability and prevents dominant teams from controlling the race pace.
