Will this change spice up the action at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix?
Pirelli have adjusted their tyre selection for the Belgian Grand Prix by bringing the C1, C3, and C4 compounds, skipping the C2.
This move is aimed at encouraging diverse tyre strategies and enhancing the excitement of the race.
The exclusion of the C2 tyre could lead to teams exploring more one-stop strategies, given the challenging overtaking conditions and preference for fewer pit stops.
Pirelli’s decision to introduce a step between the tyre compounds is the first since the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix.
The altered tyre selection is anticipated to make the two-stop strategy more competitive and introduce greater uncertainty in tyre management throughout the weekend.
With inclement weather forecasted for the race weekend at Spa, teams are likely to face additional challenges in optimizing their tyre strategies.
