Season 8 Race 10 Monaco - Strategy

[Nicolai Nicholson]

I've done some pit stop testing and found the following for the first pit slot at Monaco
:
Time lost due to "halting the car": 5,8 sec
Time to change tyres: 16,7 sec
Fuel: 0,65 sec + 0,22X (where X is amount in liter)

I assume a total consumption of 128 liters over 54 laps

A symetric 1 stop (adding 64 liters) will cost you:
5,8+16,7+0,65+(0,22x64) = 37,2 sec

A symetric 2 stop (adding 43 liters both times) will cost you:
5,8+16,7+0,65+(0,22x43) = 32,6 sec x 2 = 65,2 sec

A symetric 3 stop (adding 32 liters all 3 stops) will cost you:
5,8+16,7+0,65+(0,22x32) = 30,2 sec x 3 = 90,6 sec

If we call a 2 stop strategy the default strategy, but you go for a...

...1 stop strategy, you can be (65,2 sec - 37,2 sec) / 54 = 0,52 sec a lap slower and reach the same total time

...3 stop strategy, you must be (90,6 sec - 65,2 sec) / 54 = 0,47 sec a lap faster and reach the same total time

Thank you Nico for this valuable information , i am considering the second or third option but my position on the grid on the day will determine which one to go for ..

TY Nico....
Fuel up to the end at the start and pit for new rubber only? - and, erm... any small repairs
