FORMULA 1 - MERCEDES DRIVER LEWIS HAMILTON WINS FROM SECOND ON THE GRID WITH A ONE-STOP ULTRASOFT-SOFT STRATEGY
MAX VERSTAPPEN USES SOFT-ULTRASOFT STRATEGY TO FINISH FIFTH FROM THE BACK OF THE GRID, WITH A VERY LONG FIRST STINT ALL THREE COMPOUNDS USED ON THE LOW-DEGRADATION SURFACE WITH NEARLY ALL THE DRIVERS STOPPING ONLY ONCE #sochi, September 30, 2018 – The top four finishers at the Russian Grand Prix used the same ultrasoft-soft strategy, having also occupied the first four places on the grid. By contrast, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was fifth from the very back of the grid after using an alternative soft-ultrasoft strategy and leading for a large part of the race. Some graining was seen on the ultrasoft, also due to weather that was a bit cooler than previous days, with some rain falling before the start of the race (which nonetheless remained dry from start to finish). All three compounds were used, in track temperatures of around 30 degrees centigrade. #marioisola - HEAD OF CAR #racing “There were no real surprises during this race, with the top four drivers carrying out the strategy that we predicted to be theoretically quickest, but we saw a brilliant drive from Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo, who used an alternative strategy to move up into the top six from the back of the grid. Tyre degradation was very low, which allowed for some long stints on the soft. Generally speaking, the tyre performance on these fastest-ever #formula1 cars was exactly in line with our expectations, with a new race lap record set at the very end by #valtteribottas on the soft.”
