FORMULA 1 - RACE - LEWIS HAMILTON WINS FOR MERCEDES WITH AN ULTRASOFT-SUPERSOFT ONE STOPPER
ONE-STOP FOR ALL THE DRIVERS APART FROM #valtteribottas WHO STOPPED TWICE TEAMS NOW REMAIN IN #abudhabi FOR THEIR FIRST TASTE OF THE 2019 TYRES AT A TWO-DAY TEST Yas Marina, November 25, 2018 – On the day that Pirelli’s contract extension until 2023 was announced, #lewishamilton claimed the final win of the 2018 season from pole with the predicted one-stop ultrasoft-supersoft strategy. Hamilton made his first stop very early, under a virtual safety car, and then ran a long 48-lap supersoft stint to the finish. Nonetheless, both Ferrari and Red Bull were in a strong contention despite starting off the front row of the grid, finishing the race in second and third respectively with #sebastianvettel and #maxverstappen. The Dutchman was the only driver from the top three teams to start the race on the hypersoft tyre, completing a 17-lap opening stint on this compound (helped by a safety car and virtual safety car). As well as the #abudhabi winner’s trophy Hamilton claimed another prize today: before the start of the drivers’ parade, he was given the 2018 Pirelli Pole Position Award – a full-sized engraved race tyre – commemorating his 11 poles during the season.
MARIO ISOLA - HEAD OF CAR #racing “While nearly everyone went for the expected one-stop strategy, it was an interesting race tactically, and I think everyone was surprised to see a few drops of rain halfway through the race – which came to nothing in the end. #lewishamilton went for a very early stop and then ran a long second stint on the supersoft, while Daniel Ricciardo in fourth, did the opposite: a long opening stint on the ultrasoft followed by a shorter second stint on the supersoft. In between, there was also #maxverstappen, who made up three places after starting on the hypersoft. Now, we immediately turn the page and concentrate on 2019 with the drivers sampling next year’s definitive tyres for the first time on Tuesday and Wednesday: they will also have the 2018 tyres available to make a comparison. Finally, this is also an appropriate moment to pay tribute to Fernando Alonso after an amazing #formula1 career: we wish him the very best for the future.”
