Strategy
Pit lane time loss 21.4 seconds
2012 prime tyre**: Soft (2011: Medium)
2012 option tyre**: Medium (2011: Soft) *Fastest lap set during a Grand Prix
**Pirelli’s soft, medium and hard compounds are softer than those used in 2011
Voted for Max. Because if he wins from where he qualified, then this will be a heck of a race to watch.
Look for him to make some daring passes. He is starting on the softest compound and will likely make big moves over the first couple of laps. Red Bull is good in some sectors here, and I hope Max and Dan take the fight to the silver arrows.
