#F1 #SakhirGP🇧🇭 strategy guide:
Same track, different layout, new challenge. Merecedes has locked out the front row with the mediums but Verstappen starts third on softs and substantially closer on single-lap pace and in race trim.
#F1 #SakhirGP🇧🇭 strategy guide:
Degradation is lower this weekend, so the soft tyre is more workable. Though Mercedes always undersells on Friday, Verstappen's long-run pace was fastest of all on Fridat with the softs — and Sainz made this strategy work a treat last weekend.

Pirelli's fastest strategies—
(1) medium to lap 26, hard to lap 61, medium to lap 87;
(2) soft to lap 23, hard to lap 60, medium to lap 87; and
(3) soft to lap 24, hard to lap 63, soft to lap 87.
#F1 #SakhirGP🇧🇭 strategy guide:
If Verstappen's race pace really is that good, a lead-getting launch and a good first-stint gap will be the foundation of his win. From there stop timing is key — cars will be lapped early on this short track and choosing a window will be critical.
#F1 #SakhirGP🇧🇭 strategy guide:
For the midfield avoiding (and becoming) lapped traffic is going to be a key part of this race. Blue flags tend to compound themselves by slowing a driver down. How this unusual aspect of this track affects strategy will be very interesting.
