Pirelli have revealed the individual tyre selections for each driver ahead of next weekend's championship finale, the 2016 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with Mercedes’ title contenders Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton making identical choices for the Yas Marina race.
The purple-marked ultrasoft compound is the preferred tyre of every driver, with the red-marked supersoft and yellow-marked soft also available. For their 13-set selection, Rosberg and Hamilton have opted for seven ultrasoft, two supersoft and four soft.
