Pirelli reveal tyre compound allocations for Hungary

Share

Pirelli have confirmed the three tyre compounds that will be made available for this year's Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

The selection consists of the white-marked medium, the yellow-marked soft and the red-mark supersofts - the sixth time this season that teams and drivers have been given this choice from Pirelli's range.

Under the new-for-2016 rules, teams must have a set of medium and a set of softs available for the race, and must use at least one of them.

Each driver will also have to save one set of supersofts for the Q3 qualifying session. 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.

The teams are free to choose the 10 remaining sets permitted from the three available compounds, making up 13 sets in total for the weekend.

While the ultrasoft has not yet been used, it is due to make its debut in Monaco next weekend.

The 2016 tyre choices so far:

Australia - supersoft, soft, medium Bahrain - supersoft, soft, medium China - supersoft, soft, medium Russia - supersoft, soft, medium Spain - hard, medium, soft
Monaco - ultrasoft, supersoft, soft
Canada - ultrasoft, supersoft, soft
Europe - supersoft, soft, medium
Austria - ultrasoft, supersoft, soft
Hungary - supersoft, soft, medium
