Pirelli boss expects a range of tyre strategies in Austin

Mario Isola, the boss of Pirelli's f1 department, looks ahead to the United States Grand Prix this weekend. He suggests the track in Austin has many factors which should bring about different race strategies.

Isola has come under fire over recent seasons and in 2018, but he expects an interesting race this weekend in the strategy department.

"Just like last year, this time we expect different possibilities at strategic level in Austin. The changeable weather, as well as the different job characteristics, contribute to this," Isola said on the Pirelli website.

"The asphalt laid in 2012 has now stabilised, but the teams have to pay extra attention to their current state and use their racing strategy on the basis of that information."
