After the qualifying session that took place on Saturday evening, the editorial team offers you a recap of the starting grid.<\/p>\n

The penalties were, in order, imposed on Daniil Kvyat (+7 grid places, remainder of his penalty for engine change in Austin) and Sergio P\u00e9rez (+7 places for causing a collision with Adrian Sutil at the United States GP).<\/p>\n

The tires<\/b><\/p>\n

Pirelli announces that a three-stop strategy is theoretically the fastest for this 71-lap GP. The manufacturer suggests a short stint on soft tires before switching to mediums, then fitting mediums again on the 21st lap and the 46th lap.<\/p>\n

However, traffic on a short track could be a problem. There is then an almost equally fast two-stop strategy: start on softs, pit and switch to mediums on lap 13, before making one last pit stop for mediums on lap 42.<\/p>\n

For those who would have the choice to start on mediums (apart from the drivers who moved on to Q3), a two-stop option exists: switch to medium tires at the end of the first stint on lap 29, then complete a final stint on softs starting from lap 58.<\/p>\n

Pirelli claims that the teams will certainly start with the idea of making two pit stops while ensuring they leave room to implement a three-stop tire change strategy. All of this, of course, if rain does not disrupt the race and render all these forecasts null and void.<\/p>\n

**The forces present**<\/p>\n

The weather conditions could change everything, but in both dry and wet conditions, the Mercedes remain the hard-to-reach benchmarks. However, the Williams can stand out and cause an upset if the opportunity arises, with a particularly motivated Felipe Massa at home, who could have contended for pole position.<\/p>\n

Behind, the usual battle between McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari looms, with a potential advantage during the race for the Austrian cars, although Sebastian Vettel is hoping for rain to have a chance to win one last time before leaving the red bull.<\/p>\n
