Chinese GP: Qualifying notes - Pirelli

Three stops is on paper the quickest option (by one second) for the 56-lap race, but this carries a risk of feeding back into traffic – although overtaking in China is easier than on many circuits, thanks to a wide track layout and several passing opportunities. The fastest three-stopper is: start on soft, change to soft on lap 10, soft again on lap 25 and medium on lap 43. In practice, a two-stopper is more likely. The best strategy in this case would be to start on soft, soft again on lap 12 and then medium on lap 27. If degradation can be controlled, an intriguing but unlikely possibility would be a one-stopper: start on soft and then change to medium on lap 19.
