Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz thinks Pirelli is “on the conservative” side for the Miami Grand Prix and should consider a softer tyre to enliven the show next year.
Sunday's race is expected to be a one-stop affair amid the combination of the Miami International Autodrome's twisty nature, a low-grip surface and warm track temperatures. The majority of drivers admitted that their qualifying form was dictated by how well they managed to keep the tyre working across a flying lap around the 3.363-mile circuit. 'Unfortunately, I think the tyre compounds are a bit on the conservative side for this grand prix,' said Sainz.
'A race, like in China, where you could do a two-stop, it opens up a bit more flexibility in the pit windows. Maybe we could go softer, we'd have to speak to Pirelli about if they want to do that.
