Formula 1’s trial of a new tyre allocation at this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has triggered plenty of intrigue about the impact it will make to qualifying.With drivers forced to use the hard , medium and soft compounds in the three sessions on Saturday, rather than having complete free choice, it could serve to shake things up in terms of the fight for grid positions.
However, Pirelli also has to be careful in not pushing things too extreme and turning grands prix into three or four-stop races, which equally can be unpopular as they end up being chaotic affairs that are hard for fans to follow.

“But one important element is how difficult it is to overtake. You can take the risk to go back into traffic if you know you can overtake. But if you cannot overtake, then you don't take the risk, you stay in front and you protect the position. “We made some analysis on that together with the sporting directors many years ago,” he said. “We ended up with the conclusion that the more you make new constraints, then the more teams will come to the same strategy.
“We can try to encourage different strategies, but at the end that there is one that is the quickest,” added Isola. That is because the way the tyres are allocated over the weekend means that drivers should now end up in the race with at least two sets of hards and two sets of mediums. For this year’s Emilia Romagna GP, Pirelli has opted to go one step softer than last year, having picked the softest allocation possible.
