The Rolex Australian Grand Prix took place on Sunday with
Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team’s Lewis Hamilton putting a one stop strategy to
good use taking victory.
The double world champion started the race on a set of the
Soft compound tyre before switching to the Medium tyre on lap 25. Both the
Sauber F1 Team’s Marcus Ericsson and Scuderia Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen were the
highest placed 2 stoppers.
Speaking about the race Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul
Hembery stated:
‘As expected Australia was a tough race for the
teams, but the tyres delivered everything that was asked. The cool conditions
and early safety car period meant that the faster two-stop strategy turned into
a one-stop for most of the competitors. As well as a top performance from the
established frontrunners, we saw some extremely accomplished drives from the
rookies this year, who have clearly got on top of the 2015 tyres and strategy options
in a very short space of time.’
