McLaren’s amazing entry about Lando Noris’s Hungarian GP strategy

This Formula 1 Padock is a long -standing case of humor that the “potential race strategies” infographic Pirelli rotates on Sundays, which often does not have any connection with the way the race is out.

So it proved in Hungering Lando Noris After a poor start, a U is being effectively forced on a favorable one-stop strategy, only to work in its favor. And that was not the only one – Max Verustapane The fifth or six could be finished instead of the ninth, resumed the red bull driver advisor Helmut Marco, if he stopped once instead of two times.

From mood music on Saturday Pirelli was uneven about a two-stop being betterDespite the possibility of overnight rain, the new track affects a reset on the surface.

Pirelli motorcyst manager Mario Isola said on Saturday evening, “Currently one-stop is less or less slow.” “Tomorrow (Friday) with the level of decline measured. So if it is cooler and you are able to manage better tires, these can be reduced by 10 seconds. So I believe that two-stops are still a favorite option.”

The conditions were actually coolers, although the size of the race was fixed by events in the early lap, when passed into the approach to a twist with a scene of passing the third-tim-mate on the Noris-grid. Oscar piastryWho was eligible for another Ferrari‘S Charles LakelerThis step was not ahead and, in excluding, Noris lost the track position George Russell And then to Fernando Alonso,

While he had quickly passed Alonso to fourth place, Noris was then unable to escape from Russell’s ‘dirty air’. MercedesAs soon as Alonso returned from this battle, the window begins to open for the one-stop race, extending the cars backwards.

In fact, it quickly became the only option of Noris, while McLarenThe strategy for the piastry was decided by the need to achieve the lakeler in any way.

“Our baseline strategy was a two-stop strategy today,” said McLaren team principal Andrea Stella in her post-race briefing.

“We did not think that the one-stop was possible. So with the Oscar we tried to go on a good, deterministic, two-stop strategy, tried to pass the lakeler in the first stop, then we tried to expand into a tire delta in another stop, so that some tenth part of each other could be able to be able to pass the lakeler, and worked.”

But it is amidst the tour of these two piasties pit that the speed moved towards one-stop. When he stopped for his first set of hard-cum piralis at the end of Lap 18, he forced Ferrari to respond, but Lakeler moved forward and they both went out of the pits behind the Alonso-the first three laps started to take, Gap McLaren and Ferrari thought they thought that they thought.

Although both Lakeler and Piastry were obtained as Lap Count entered the 20s, it became clear that Eston Martin Driver was aiming to expand his first term and it would be problematic for Russell and Noris, would they have to pit. Russell proved this to take four laps to pass the two -time F1 World Champion.

By this point it seemed unfavorable for Noris to do anything other than an one-stop, and Piastry was already conscious of the possibility that his strategy was sub-amazing. While his earlier reactions for Race Engineer Tom Stalard were asking about staying in negative once, he started questioning whether it would be possible to stay out for the remaining race.

Tone suggested that in an attempt to reduce Lakeler, he had given an inauguration to Noris to pass both of them. Even when he was sitting on Noris before he stopped at the end of Lap 31, he died.

“When it comes to this lando and one-stop strategy, when we expanded, except the lands, we did not think that the one-stop would still be possible,” Stela said.

“But credit to the lands, he managed to keep some very strong areas and lap time together with tires, which were relatively used. So we somehow assured ourselves that we had started coming into a one-stop game because we had moved forward with the first stent.

“It was not like entering the race with one-or two-stop and we would have chosen them to be equivalent. We thought that two-stop would be a major strategy today.”

Noris set several fastest laps in his early stage on Hardes and was at the point that the term of conversation between Stalard and Piastry changed: the Australian driver was given an option between “Lakeler on Lakeler or Lando from Tire Delta”.

McLaren then attempted some subtarfuse, asking Piastry to “box” and deploying his mechanics at PIT apron on Lap 39. Ferrari responded to blocking the undercut in the latter east-eastly-but instead Piastry raised its stint for another six laps.

When Russell dropped out of his way at the end of Lap 42, Noris got some help, the point from which he was away from Piastry and when his team’s partner beaten him, he inherited the lead. Seriously, the piastry had lost the ground hand over the fist while expanding – Lap 44 alone he lost 2S relative to Noris.

Piastry then had to use its tire delta best to pass the lakeler on the road.

Naturally, seeing how the race was shifted, Stella was asked if the team consciously favor Noris on Piastry, but he ruled down decisively.

He said, “We wanted to give the Oscar enough for the tire delta to pass Lakeler, but also had a proper opportunity on the lands, as it meant an optimal two-stop,” he said.

“So we wanted to make sure that, thinking of Lakeler, we were not getting much more distracted by an optimal two-stop, as it was unfair to the Oscars in relation to their competition with Lando. And we also checked with the Oscars what was their priority, and of course he wanted the opportunity to win the race.

“And we thought that with enough tire delta for Lakeler, the Oscar would have got a chance finally.”
