What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix?

Formula 1 will return to action with the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend – and tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the compounds that the teams and drivers will have available to them.

A combination of the C3 as the hard, the C4 as the medium and the C5 as the soft will be deployed at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, which blends tight, twisty sections with flat-out blasts.

Drivers will get two sets of the hard tyre (marked white), three sets of the medium tyre (marked yellow), and eight sets of the soft tyre (marked red), as well as access to the green intermediate tyre and the blue full wets, should they be required.

An extra set of softs is reserved for those who reach Q3 in Qualifying, while all drivers must use at least two different slick compounds during the race, providing the track is dry.

“Pirelli has made no changes since last year for the dry weather compounds at the Marina Bay circuit, with the C3 as hard, the C4 as medium and the C5 as soft,” reads the Italian manufacturer’s weekend preview.

“Although there exists the softer still C6, when the compounds for the second part of the season were announced during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, evaluations carried out before the summer break ruled out the softest tyre in the 2025 range.

“The forces exerted on the tyres and the high temperatures at this event might have created some overheating issues. In fact, in this race, thermal stress is the main cause of tyre performance degradation.

“Medium and hard will clearly be the compounds of choice for the race, but the soft could come into play for any driver wanting to make the most of its extra grip at the start, or if there’s a Safety Car period towards the end of the race.

“Modifications made to the track layout a couple of years ago mean overtaking is a bit easier, although obviously, it is still rather complicated to get past another car.

“Therefore, being able to call on the big performance difference between relatively new softs and mediums or hards that have done many laps, could be a factor to bear in mind.”
