The Canadian Grand Prix also highlighted Ferrari’s strategic acumen, as they, like Albon, opted for a one-stop strategy but chose not to pit under the safety car. Instead, they extended their stints on medium tires, switching to hard tires on laps 39 and 38. This tactical move paid off handsomely, with Charles Leclerc finishing fourth and Carlos Sainz in fifth place.
The Formula 1 season has witnessed several other notable strategic moments. These include Lando Norris’s impressive nine-place undercut at Spa, Daniel Ricciardo’s successful undercut in Budapest, and George Russell’s well-timed switch to dry tires in Austria. These strategic maneuvers showcase the importance of making the right decisions in the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of Formula 1 racing.
