HAMILTON CLAIMS POLE ON SUPERSOFT TYRES
WITH FASTEST EVER LAP OF SHANGHAI
DRY WEATHER FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY BUT RAIN EXPECTED TOMORROW
IF IT STAYS DRY, ONE-STOP SUPERSOFT-SOFT STRATEGY IS LIKELY
MARIO ISOLA - HEAD OF CAR RACING
“This morning’s FP3 session was particularly important with many teams splitting their strategies to capitalise on data collection. They still headed into qualifying with limited information, but maximised all the possibilities of the 2017 tyres: pole position was a record-breaking lap, more than 3.7 seconds faster than last year. If it stays dry, a one-stop strategy seems optimal, starting on the SS and then doing a longer stint on soft.”
