How could strategy potentially impact the 2023 F1 United States Grand Prix?
Pirelli is expecting two pit-stops per driver in the 2023 F1 United States Grand Prix in Austin. The Sprint race on Saturday saw most drivers start on Medium tyres, except for Carlos Sainz who chose Soft tyres. However, for the Grand Prix, everyone is expected to start on Mediums. Only Alexander Albon does not have a fresh set of Mediums, while Lando Norris has one new set compared to two for Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. The first round of pit-stops is predicted to happen between Laps 12-19, with a switch to Hard tyres. There might be some variation in the second round of stops, with the possibility of fitting a second set of Mediums for a longer run to the finish. However, if there is a Safety Car towards the end, Pirelli suggests the option of using used Soft tyres for a final charge, but drivers further back have plenty of new Softs. Alternatively, a one-stop strategy is possible by starting on Mediums and switching to Hards between Laps 20-26, although there is a risk of getting overtaken by those on two-stoppers later on.
