Pirelli
announces Tyre Compounds for Mexico |
|
|
|
Pirelli will
bring the following three compounds to the nineteenth round of the 2016
Formula One season in Mexico*, to be held (October 27-30) on the Mexico City
circuit:
P Zero White medium
P Zero Yellow soft
P Zero Red supersoft
These are the
tyres that Pirelli has said must be used at some point in the race:
One set of P Zero White medium
One set of P Zero Yellow soft.
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 Red supersoft
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 10, 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. |
