Pirelli has outlined the various strategy options at play for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.
“Overtaking at the Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort is challenging due to the track layout, so teams may focus more on strategic decisions to gain positions throughout the 72-lap race. Pirelli has suggested various strategies for the race, including a one-stop plan as the quickest route, with options for starting on soft tires and switching to hard or medium compounds at different points. Weather conditions at Zandvoort can be unpredictable and play a significant role in race outcomes, especially with strong winds potentially causing incidents and safety car interventions. Teams must carefully manage their tire usage, especially with limited availability of soft compound tires for the leading cars, which could impact their race strategy and pit stop decisions. The layout of the track, with a short run to the first corner, may influence teams to consider starting on harder tires to minimize the risk of losing positions at the start and maximize their chances of gaining track position through strategic tire management and potential safety car opportunities.”
