The British driver says that in this season with the new tires, overtakes will be many !!
None of the teams know completely how much the tires of Pirelli will affect the performance of their cars in the new season. The new tires are designed to be consumed much faster than the previous of Bridgestone a thing which means that the drivers should be very careful with the usage of their tires and probably change their driving style. However, according to Button, in the last laps of the race the tires would be in a state that actually overtakes would be many many.
Especially for the race in Australia, Button provides that by the end of the race many things may: "I think the in the last stint there will be many overtakes so that everyone will be shocked. The drivers will be fighting to keep their position until the last round and this is very good. I do not know if all the races are going to be like this but this is so because we have not yet fully understand the tires.
Button said that the key in a race will be the condition of the tires at the end: "In my opinion, the last stint it is important that you keep your tires - in the two or three first stint as we all know the important thing is to stop 1 round before the other drivers. If you do this, you would overtake them because you are 3 seconds per lap faster. It is very interesting. You can win a lot of ground after the first pit stop but to lose in the final stint. It is an exercise in balance and will take a few races to find the right strategy. "
