Which tyre strategies are the most likely, according to Pirelli, during the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps?
Max Verstappen will have multiple chances for overtaking at Spa-Francorchamps, but strategic tyre choices will greatly impact the outcome of the Belgian Grand Prix. Pirelli has outlined four main strategies for the 44-lap race, where Charles Leclerc will start from pole position for Ferrari. Verstappen’s main championship rival, Lando Norris, is starting from fifth, while Red Bull’s Sergio Perez will aim to move up from P11 due to penalties. The tyre choices, including potentially starting on soft tyres, could be crucial for Verstappen’s race at Spa-Francorchamps, where higher-than-expected tyre degradation is a concern. Rain is not expected, so no wet compounds will be used, and adapting to potential degradation challenges, like graining, will be key for all drivers, including those without fresh sets of hard tyres like the Red Bull drivers.
