F1: TYRES WILL GIVE BIGGEST TEST OF THE SEASON AT SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS


Pirelli F1 boss Mario Isola say's tyres will get the biggest test of the season at the Belgian Grand Prix...


Many drivers have come to fall in love with the Spa circuit which is the longest track on the Formula 1 calendar.

Isola hopes the tyre choices will help push rather than tyre management throughout the race.

"Spa is always an amazing driver's circuit but that is also why the tyres are put under some of the biggest stresses that they face all season.

"As a result, we've nominated the tree hardest compounds in the range. A slightly different choice to last year - which should allow the drivers to push to the maximum during each stint and minimise the need for pace management," said Isola. 

The same set was used earlier at Silverstone and the Spa 24 Hour this year. 

Isola thinks this time around we could see a two stop strategy rather than the one stop strategy that was used last year.
