After all of the action of last weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, teams are back to do it all again this weekend during the Austrian Grand Prix, which serves as round nine of the 2021 Formula One World Championship.
Organizers decided to host back-to-back rounds in Austria to fill in for one of the rounds cancelled by Covid-19 disruptions, just like last year.
This provides teams with an opportunity, as having just raced on the Red Bull Ring, they know exactly how their cars performed and what tweaks are required.
However, there will always be surprises cropping up. There are also some planned changes. One is Pirelli nominating a slightly softer set of tires. For the Austrian Grand Prix, Pirelli nominated the P Zero White hard as the C3, the P Zero Yellow medium the C4 and the P Zero Red soft the C5, versus the P Zero White hard as the C2, the P Zero Yellow medium the C2 and the P Zero Red soft the C4 used in the Styrian Grand Prix. Teams normally use a one-stop strategy here.
