MONZA, Italy -- With rain falling throughout qualifying, the tyre choice for the start of the Italian GP is free for all 20 drivers (usually the top 10 have to use the same tyres they used in Q2). Pirelli reported minimal degradation during Friday practice, so all teams are expected to run a one-stop strategy split between the super-soft and soft compounds -- the only question is which one you go for first.
The super-soft suffered minimal degradation (less than 0.1s per lap) and the soft barely degraded at all. That should give teams some flexibility over when they pit and the possibility of an undercut could open up.
