#F1 : Pirelli Chart of Compounds vs Winners – POST USGP
Those of you that have been following this blog have seen the chart below before. As the season comes to an end, the chart continues to hold true. Here is the theory behind the chart and the results thus far.
The trend has been that Vettel has yet to win with a Hard/Medium combination. Alonso has never won with a Hard/Soft combination. Given the above observation and Pirelli’s selection for the final four races, Vettel may hold the advantage in one race, while Alonso may hold it in three races. ONLY in terms of this season’s historical success rate on the compound combination. This doesn’t take into account circuit, weather or any other critical factor.
With the title still up for grabs in the final round. The chart would predict an Alonso victory or a non-Vettel victory. But Vettel does not need a win to clinch the title. Here is a link that explains what needs to happen for either hopeful to win; http://wp.me/p27okE-ob
