In Formula 1 racing, the number of tire changes during a race is not fixed but depends on various factors such as track conditions, weather, and team strategy. Typically, teams plan for one to three pit stops for tire changes in a standard dry race. Each pit stop involves changing all four tires, and the choice of tire compound—soft, medium, or hard—affects performance and durability. In wet conditions, drivers may switch to intermediate or full wet tires, leading to additional changes. Ultimately, the exact number is determined by real-time decisions to optimize speed and safety. |
