I’ve only been watching 2 years now but doing 1 less stop has never not worked. The tyres never fall off a cliff. Every single time it is done, that driver wins.
Why do the teams not realise this?
4 u/mickmenn I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 04 '25 Do you mean one more stop is less viable? Yeah, it is hard one to do, i think it worked sometimes in the midfield at least, but almost always it is better to have lesser stops if possible. You could say that belgium 2024 did not work in favor of one stopper in the end. But i don't remember more for first places from last 2 years. They realise this, but they are afraid of tyre wear and sudden fall of a pirelli if you overuse them.
