The new rule at this weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix will cau🐲se headaches to team bosses.

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 𒀰teams must rethink.

Sky Sports pitlane reported Ted Kra𓆏vitz has pinpointed the team he thinks can get the best out of this new rule.

“Whatever ha🌸ppens in the first laps𓆏 to the second stops, won’t matter,” Kravitz predicted.

“All that w🐈ill matter is wha🌃t 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 qualifying at Imola, I fancy that they might play this new regulation to their a🙈dvantage.

“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 good luck.”

Aston Martin unexpectedly qualified fifth and eighth last week in Imܫola thanks to a bold tyre strategy.

Although the𓆉y have been largely uncompetitive this season, it was a ray of light which hinted at better days ahead.

Aston Martin are also buoyed by Adrian Newey who is at an F1 grand pr👍ix wearing their colours for the first time𓂃.

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 𓄧disagreement over the FIA’s new rule ♒in Monaco.

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

“It has a bit of artificiality about it. A bit of gimmickery. Which I am not a fanꦡ of.

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

Jenson Button replied: “You co🧸uld say that having one pit stop is gimmicky because they don’t have to stop.”

Kravitz said: “That’s true. The FIA have never done this bef🏅ore.

“We’ve had races like Qatar in 2023 when teams had to make two stops because of t🍸yre wear.

“But they’ve never said ‘you must make two stops’ and made a r𝔍ule of it.”

Button was th🌼e last F1 driver to win the Monaco Grand P🥂rix with a two-stop strategy, in 2009.

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

“It’s easy to make a mistake in this pitlan🍰e. It’s bigger than it used to be, but still i🌠t’s a small pitlane.

“I think it’s a good thing. You’ll still have people stopping on Lap 1 to do their pitstop theꩵn joining the back of the train.

“It spices it up. It 💯opens it up to different strategies.”

Martinღ Bru𓃲ndle's view is: “I like the idea, let’s give it a chance.

“Shou🦂ld it work on Sunday, it might not work next year, because it depends on Safety Cars, red flags, whether they happen, when they happen.

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

“If you’re at the b💛ack, do you go ‘Lap 1 pitstop, Lap 2 pitstop’ and sit and wait for your chance down the road.

“Will we see, at the end, the f🐻rontrunnersꦓ hanging on and hanging on in case there’s a Safety Car, then pitting on the penultimate lap.

“But it does, without question, mean you cannot get out front, go ar𓆏ound at Formula 2 pace, and hold everyone up.”
