Monaco GP: Lando Norris on the Pypper Center from Charles Leclerc but it is exposed to the rules for changing new tires | F1 news

Lando Norris will have a great opportunity to win the first Monaco Grand Prix when it starts in the pole, but it is scheduled to cause the new tire base “chaos” in the Sunday race.

Only five times in the past 21 years, the driver has not won a “jewel in the crown” in F1, and Norris will need to overcome the Charles Leclerc teammate, his teammate Oscar PiaSSTRI and the issue of two mandatory stops to avoid the short list of those who did not turn the pole to win.

After the procession race last year when the top 10 of the same situations began without any violations, FIA announced in February that drivers would need to change the tires at least twice.

The base will increase the focus on the strategy and may force drivers to pay more strongly, which increases the risk of breakdown and causing a safety car.

“I think there will be a greater opportunity for everyone. But that’s the case. That’s what Formula 1 did, it is just trying to make more offer,” Norris said.

“Of course, in my position now, I may not agree with what has been done. But I am not the person who provides the rules, so we will see. But I think there is a greater opportunity for everyone, whether you start in the pole or if you start in the past.

“I think you can be more optimistic, which is great for you, comrades, not good for me. So let’s wait and see.”

Leclerc will look at the first driver since Nico Rosberg in 2015 to win the Monaco Grand Prix in successive years.

If Norris continues to keep up with NORRIS, the Ferrari driver will need to determine whether he is trying to undermine the incubator or move forward and wait for a safety car to get a cheaper hole. This will be a high -speed game that everyone will play all over the stadium.

“I think it will be a little chaos, but we will see how it is run. I think there will be a lot of strategic games, and we will see who leads,” said Leclerc.

“But I think we may be under pressure to cars that we may not expect from behind, which may make everything interesting.”

Many, many scenarios

The list of scenarios is countless, but the key is to stay outside the traffic after drilling, while avoiding undermining or excessive.

This is almost impossible if you are not in the first few positions, and the manager of McLaren Andrea Stella recognizes the consequences of the mandatory hole stations “much broader than we initially believed.”

“These consequences also add the factor that, depending on your presence in the foreground or you are in the back of the field, you can take a lot of different options,” said Stella.

And then, as a function of red flags, safety cars, teamwork, we may see cars that help each other in the same team. This may lead to very different scenarios.

“Therefore, I think the strategy meeting that is already happening during this media session will be longer than usual because the scenarios that must be taken into account are definitely more than you usually think – not only in Monaco, but in any other race we need to prepare.”

Will it help PiaSSTRI NORRIS?

PiaSSTRI is 13 points behind Norris in the Drivers Championship after seven rounds, but this feature can be eliminated almost if the British driver wins for the first time since the Australian Grand Prix that opens the season.

One of the strategies that can be played is the difference that uses the second car to hold drivers who have just incited because it is very difficult to overcome.

Ferrari may look at this strategy option, for example, given the presence of Leclerc in second place and Lewis Hamilton will start seventh after the three -place network penalty due to the MAX Verstapen disability.

PiaSSTRI was asked whether Norris would help ensure McLaren’s victory in the race and for the first time to his teammate: “How much will you pay me?

“I mean, I want to win the race as well. So let’s see what is happening. I think it will be a very messy race, but we will see what is happening.”

Stella added: “We will always try to make decisions and let the race reveal naturally, so that our driver has a better opportunity to take advantage of their performance and efforts,” Stella added.

“I think we do not expect any deviation from this natural development of the race, unless it is a benefit to both of them.”

What will drivers do in the back?

It is expected that drivers who start at the back of the field will incite the first roll to get rid of one of the hole stations, so that they have clean air and can undermine many drivers.

The risks to this are a safety car in the wrong time, you will prefer drivers who did not incite, but it is a gamble that deserves to take, especially for the Mercedes -George Russell duo on the fourteenth and Kimi Antonelli in fifteenth place after its bleak qualifiers.

“I think you will see that half of the drivers will go to one direction, and the half will go to the other, so there is not much that you can do from this position,” Russell told Rice. Sky SPORTS F1.

“Stopping the hole in Monaco is not normal, but they stop in many other races are very normal, so there will be no detection.

“We were preparing from the positions of the few front network. We had no strategic plans from P14 and P15. We are here now and that’s not good.”
