Pirelli will
bring the following three compounds to the seventh* round of the 2016
Formula One season in Canada (June 10 - 12):
P Zero Yellow soft
P Zero Red supersoft
P Zero Purple ultrasoft
These are the MANDATORY tyres to be available for the race:
2 two sets of P Zero Yellow soft
Each driver must have both these sets available for the race, and must use
at least one of
them.
These are the tyres assigned for Q3 in qualifying:
One set of P Zero Purple ultrasoft
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 new 2016 tyre regulations mean that tyre choices for long-haul events
have to be made
14 weeks in advance, whereas for European races the deadline is eight weeks
in advance. |
