I suppose the position of whoever is in P2, positioning themselves to take the slipstream, could be a decisive factor. I must say that, according to the weather forecast, this will not necessarily happen in dry conditions, so if it’s wet it will be even more interesting, because Eau Rouge may not be easy flat out, as it is today on lap 1 in a Formula 1 car.<\/p>Andrea Stella<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nStella added: “At the same time, while looking ahead, they will have to look back a bit, because Ferrari has a significant speed advantage, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Leclerc led the group at the end of lap 1. So there is certainly some planning that can be done, but ultimately you have to let the drivers make their own assessment, their own judgment.”\n\n“Certainly, what I will tell the drivers is that lap 1 is only lap 1 of 44, and when you have such a competitive car, you just have to make sure to minimize problems during lap 1. And then, if we execute the race in the best possible way, I think we will be in a position to recover the possibility of winning the race, even if lap 1 doesn’t go as planned in qualifying.”\n\n
