Germany 2009: Pitstop & Tyre Strategies

Most drivers started the race on the Super Soft compound to get it out of the way early on in the race, although some teams did split their strategies between their drivers, Scuderia Toro Rosso, Renault and Toyota doing just this. Also, most drivers went with the two-stop approach to the race, although Timo Glock (who started from the pitlane) went for a one-stopper. Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil ended up completing three stops, but only because of damaged parts that needed replacing.
