P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Mexican Grand Prix will get underway later today from the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez. But what strategy options are available to the drivers as they go in pursuit of a strong result from the 19th round of the season?
According to Pirelli, a one-stop strategy could be the best option for drivers in the Mexico City Grand Prix. They are likely to start the race with either the Medium or Hard compound, with the Soft compound being used later on. The pit window for Medium starters is from lap 27 to 34, where they would switch to the Hard compound. Alternatively, a driver can start with the Hard compound and switch to the Soft tyre as late as lap 56. Lando Norris, starting from 18th, may adopt this strategy after a disappointing qualifying session. Starting with the Medium compound allows for better pace in the beginning, with all teams except Aston Martin having fresh Medium and Hard tyres available. Two fresh sets of Hards are available for Max Verstappen, while Sergio Perez has two new sets of Mediums. A two-stop strategy is also an option, pitting around 20 laps into the race on Mediums and then switching to Hards before returning to Mediums later on.
