How will strategy dictate the results of the 2024 F1 Japanese Grand Prix?
Pirelli has outlined the tyre strategies for the Japanese Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen secured pole position for Red Bull Racing with teammate Sergio Perez close behind. The hardest tyre compounds – C1, C2, and C3 – have been chosen due to the aggressive track surface at Suzuka. The recommended strategy for victory is a two-stop plan to combat high degradation, starting with the Soft tyre and switching to Hard between laps nine and 15. Some teams, like Ferrari and Aston Martin, may need to deviate due to tire availability. Another option involves starting on Medium and transitioning to Hard between laps 11 and 18 to extend the race. Overtaking through strategic pit stops will likely be crucial on the narrow Suzuka Circuit according to Mario Isola, setting the stage for an intriguing race.
