Hungary 2009: Pitstop & Tyre Strategies
Posted on July 26th, 2009 by Oliver White in 2009
Below is the strategies table from the Hungarian Grand Prix, which saw a high number of retirements for 2009 – three drivers failed to make the chequered flag. Of all the strategies employed, everybody went with a two-stopper, taking out unscheduled visits to the pitlane for damage repair. Most drivers started on the Super-Soft compound and changed to the harder Soft compound for the final stint, although there were a limited few who chose otherwise.
