The new rule at this weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix will cause headaches to team boss𝔍e🐻s.

A 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mandatory two pitstops has been imposed on every F1 team for the first time.

It means the normal strategy of a single pitstop at the notoriously tight Monaco circuit is banned, and teams must꧃ rethink.

Sky Sports pitlane reported Ted Kravitz has pinpointed the team he thinks can getꩲ the best ꧙out of this new rule.

“Whatever happens in the first laps to the second stops, won’t ꧃matter,” Kr🍨avitz predicted.

“All thaꦇt will matter is what happens after the second stops.

“Where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin got it right, with strategy, particularly in qualifyin🤪g at Imola, I fancy that they might play this new regulation to their advantage.

“They could end up on the podium.

“Considering how much bad luck 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has had, until this point, maybe he is due some go🎃od luck.”

Aston Martin unexpectedly qualified fifth and eight🐻h last week in Imola thanks to a bold tyre strategy.

Altho൩ugh they have been largely uncompetitive this season, it was a ra🌞y of light which hinted at better days ahead.

Aston Martin are also buoyed by Adrian Newey who is at an F1 grand🅷 prix wearing their colours for the first time.

Alonso was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:seventh in Friday practice, Lance Stroll 18th.

Dispute over ‘gimmick’ at F1 Monaco Grand Prix

There was disagrꦿeement over the FIA’s n🃏ew rule in Monaco.

Kravitz insisted he did not like it: “Not reall🥀y. I think it’s an overreaction to last year which was an unusual event, with a red flag and nobody making a pitstop.

“It has a bit of artificiality about it. A bit of g꧙immickery. Which I am not a fan of.

“But on the other hand, I think it will ✱create a very interesting grand prix.”

Jenson Button replied: “You could say tha🐲t having one pit stop is gimmicky because they don’t have to stop.”

Kravitz said: “That’s true. The FIA have never done t๊his before.

“We’ve had races like Qatar in 2023 when teams had to make two sto𒆙ps because of tyre wear.

“But they’ve never said ‘you🍸 must ma𝓀ke two stops’ and made a rule of it.”

Button was the last F1 driver ♓to win the Monaco Grand Prix with a two-stop strategy, in 200꧅9.

“I love it,” Button said about the new rule.

“It’s easy to make a mistake in this pitlane. It’🎐s bigger than it used to be, but still it’s a small pitlane.

“I think it’s a good thing. You’ll still have people stopping on Lap 1 to do t🌠heir pits💮top then joining the back of the train.

“It spices it up. It opens it up to different strategie♏s.”

Martin Brundle's view is:ও “I 🦹like the idea, let’s give it a chance.

“Should it work on Sunday, it mig🐟ht not work next year, because it depends on Safety Cars, red flags, whether they 🦹happen, when they happen.

“I am surpꦦrised they haven’t said ‘one of the pitstops must be in the first half of the race.

“If you’re at the back, do you go ‘Lap 1 pitstop,🌞 Lap 2 pits♎top’ and sit and wait for your chance down the road.

🧜“Will we see, at the end, the frontrunners hanging on and hanging on in c👍ase there’s a Safety Car, then pitting on the penultimate lap.

“But it does, without quest🦩ion, mean you cannot get out front, go around at Formula 2 pace, and hold everyone up.”
