Drama in the warm-up lap! Piastri might be out of the Grand Prix! He’s gone into the wall during the warm-up lap. Boy oh boy, wowee.
Having delivered a somewhat more sturdy tyre this season, Pirelli are of the view that a one-stop strategy is the way to go for today’s race: starting out on mediums before pitting for hards between laps 20 to 26 or, alternatively, starting the race on softs before swapping them for hards between lap 15 to 21.
