Pirelli
announces Tyre Compounds for Austria |
|
|
|
Pirelli will
bring the following three compounds to the ninth round of the 2016 Formula
One season in Austria*, to be held (June 30 - July 3) on the Spielberg
circuit:
P Zero Yellow soft
P Zero Red supersoft
P Zero Purple ultrasoft
These are the tyres that Pirelli has said must be used at some point in the
race:
One set of P Zero Yellow soft
One set of P Zero Red supersoft.
Each driver must have both these sets available for the race, and must use
at least one of them.
There are the tyres assigned for Q3 in qualifying:
One set of P Zero Purple ultrasoft
Following the regulations, each driver must save for Q3 one set of the
softest of the three nominated compounds. This set will be given back to
Pirelli after Q3 for those who qualify in the top 8, but the remaining
drivers will keep it for the race – as is the case currently. The teams are
free to choose the remaining 10 sets; making up 13 sets in total for the
weekend.
*The new 2016 tyre regulations mean that tyre nomination for long-haul
events have to be made 14 weeks in advance, whereas for European races the
deadline is eight weeks in advance. |
