The fastest strategy for the 66-lap Portuguese Grand Prix is a one-stopper, but with comparatively little running on this new circuit in free practice and consequently a lack of data in terms of wear and degradation levels, to predict the best strategy is harder than usual.

On paper, the fastest strategy is: start on Medium and then move onto Hard around lap 32. Of course, the exact opposite can apply, starting on hard and then moving onto medium after 34 laps.

Second-quickest is another one-stopper: Soft for 18 laps, then Hard for 48 laps.

A two-stopper is slower, but still an option if lower temperatures will favour some graining. In this case, the best option would be Soft-Medium-Medium: 14 laps on Soft and then two 26-lap stints on Medium.
As usual, track temperatures will influence the strategy heavily.
