 Pirelli announces Tyre Compounds for Russia
 
Pirelli Tyre

 

Pirelli will bring the following three compounds to the fourth round of the 2016 Formula One season in Russia (April 28-May 1):
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 on from the 2016 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 sets; making up 13 sets in total for the weekend..

  
THE TYRE CHOICES SO FAR:
		Purple  Red 	  Yellow White   Orange
Australia 		Supersoft Soft   Medium
Bahrain 		Supersoft Soft   Medium
China 			Supersoft Soft   Medium
Russia		        Supersoft Soft   Medium

What is the point of ultrasoft tires if they dont use them in Sochi? I thought that this circuit is the reason behind ultra soft tires becouse of extreamly low wear there?
