‘Two-stop races will be impossible’. That is the view of 2010 Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel.
The German believes that almost all of the races will feature a minimum of three or four-stops as the drivers will require fresh rubber to remain competitive.
“Tyres are very different to last year, but then again it is the same for everybody,” he said. “I think we’ll see that racing will change.
“One-stop is impossible at this stage, also two-stops so it will be at least a three or four-stop race, so yeah I think it will make it very interesting.
“The question is, is it a good thing for us or a bad thing. It is hard to say now because obviously we need to getting going and see how the races unfold,” he added.
In terms of overtaking, the Red Bull driver isn’t so confident that KERS will make a difference between two equipped cars as they will end up cancelling out one another.
“KERS is the same for everybody, so you’ve got KERS in your car and so has the other guy. It doesn’t make a big difference at the end of the day.”
