Pirelli boss Mario Isola expecting 2022 F1 Canadian GP to pose a lot of questions for F1 teams

Pirelli has confirmed they will be bringing the softest compounds in their range for this weekend's 2022 F1 Canadian GP, as they have in the two rounds prior. The C3 compound will be the white-walled hard tire, the C4 will be the yellow-walled medium tire, and the C5 compound will be the red-walled soft tire for the weekend. In his pre-race debrief, Isola admitted that teams will have to overcome the challenges of racing without any new and relevant data from the track. Coupled with the new regulations, this is bound to bring uncertainty to the grid and paddock this weekend. The Italian wrote: “Canada will pose a number of question marks for the teams: the weather is often variable, all previous data is three years old, and we have a completely different range of tyres with new compounds and structures, on a track that is hardly ever used – which will lead to a very high degree of evolution.” Isola went on to add, saying: “Compared to their last visit to Montreal, the drivers should find compounds that are more stable with a wider working range, enabling them to push harder throughout each stint with a much lower risk of overheating. One interesting aspect to Montreal is that it has one of the lowest pit lane time loss penalties on the calendar, meaning that a car can be in and out of the pit lane in less than 20 seconds. This could open up a few options in terms of strategy.” Meanwhile, viewers in the US can tune into ESPN and ESPN Deportes to watch all the action live from the race weekend. UK viewers can catch the proceedings on Sky Sports, while Indian viewers can do the same on Star Sports Select, Star Sports Select HD 2, and Disney+ Hotstar.
