Pit Wall Verdict
The Austrian Grand Prix is shaping up to be a strategically dynamic race, heavily influenced by the hot, dry weather. While a one-stop is the baseline, high thermal degradation is a significant risk that could push many towards a two-stop strategy. Pit timing will be paramount to capitalize on or defend against undercut/overcut attempts and to manage the impact of DRS trains. Expect intense battles, not just for position, but also in the pits and on the strategy screens, as teams navigate tyre wear and brake temperatures. The race could be decided by who best manages their tyres over the 71 laps.
