The second-quickest approach is also a one-stopper, but this time starting on the yellow medium tyre for 19 laps before going on to the hard. Finally, there’s a two-stopper – but this is clearly slower. Start on soft for 15 laps, then another soft stint for 15 laps, and finally hard to the finish. After an extremely warm Saturday, tomorrow’s weather should be slightly cooler and similar to Friday, meaning that the teams can rely quite accurately on the data collected during free practice. [![2019 quickest race strategy in China](https://www.f1-fansite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1920_strategies-2019-cn-quali-en-820474.jpg)](https://www.f1-fansite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1920_strategies-2019-cn-quali-en-820474.jpg) **Important to know for the race:** - Starting tyres. Both Ferrari's and Mercedes, as well as the Red Bull of Max Verstappen will start on medium tyres, having used them to set their best Q2 times. - Mixed strategies. The front runners will be using what’s theoretically only the second-fastest strategy, which could have an interesting effect. - The front-left tyre. This is the one that’s most stressed around the track. - The weather. Today has been very warm, with track temperatures reaching 41 degrees, but in China conditions are famously variable. Expect warm weather for the race. - Alex Albon: the Toro Rosso driver didn’t take part in qualifying after his crash in FP3 so will start from the pit lane tomorrow. Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi also did not set a time in Q1 and so will start from the back. Both have a full allocation of tyres.

I noticed the top 10 positions are with the teams paired together. Is this a coincidence? First time it has happened?000 - Yes, it's a funny coincidence! You could be right that it's the first time, but my gut feeling says it happened a few times before. I have to check it before I can confirm it.000 2. Quite astounding that only 3 teams do not have paired times. This suggests that it is easier to get the best time out of the car at least in qualifying set up. For me this is tricky mixture and will put an even bigger premium on tyre change strategy but against that the low temperature forecast could favour longer runs.
