A highly-unusual two-second per lap difference between the soft and medium tyres has left Formula 1 teams facing a strategy headache for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Pirelli's selection of tyres for this weekend has proved to be a step too hard, with the hard compound of no use, and the medium around two-seconds per lap slower than the soft.

With the rules requiring drivers to run two different compounds in the race, F1 teams will have to work out ways to use the medium tyres for the shortest time possible.

Pirelli's F1 racing manager Mario Isola told Autosport: "The soft is performing very well, and medium is sliding a bit.

"The quicker strategy is on three-stops, with three sets of softs and the medium used for very few laps.

"The two-stop strategy with soft/soft/medium is possible. It is a few seconds slower [in theory] but you are not in traffic.

"Considering this is a circuit where overtaking is not the easiest thing to do, probably a lot of teams will have to run 25 laps on the soft, that means 50 laps total, or as long as possible on the soft, to have a [short] last stint on the medium tyre."

Ex minardi, and run by good old Stoddart! Miss that guy

 

The fastest strategy for Alonso is coming in for the medium tyres and one lap later for the soft when his team mate caused a safety car for some reasons

 

His fastest startegy is to park the car and catch a scooter ride....

 

Really looks like Bernie will buy force India

 

I like that idea!!

 

Very much so

 

Max will try something at T1 guaranteed!

 

Bwahahahahaha!

 

No need, Stroll can do it too😀

 

Good evening boys and girls. Gonna be a tough hard long race. Probably vey less overtakes too.

 

The crowds are massive...

 

But with Stroll you never know when he crashes Timing is everything....
