Pirelli has revealed which compounds it will take to the Japanese, Korean and Indian grands prix.
Japan will see the soft and hard compounds in use around the Suzuka circuit. This is the third time this nomination will will be used in 2012 following Spain and Great Britain.
The Indian GP, only in its second year, will also use the soft and hard.
The Korean GP has a low rate of wear, despite the high temperatures and twisty track, and will see the softest compounds in action – supersoft and soft – which also make an appearance at the next event in Singapore.
Each team receives six sets of the harder compound and five of the softer, all of which can be used on any day of the race weekend.
