Pirelli has outlined the tyres it will make available to drivers for the Austrian Grand Prix in June, mirroring the choice for France.
The C2 (Hard), C3 (Medium) and C4 (Soft) will make up the three available compounds, with the Soft nominated as the qualifying tyre.
This has so far been the most popular combination, with Australia, China, this weekend's Azerbaijan GP and France using the same allocation. So far only Bahrain and Spain have the C1 nominated as the Hard tyre and Monaco and Canada making use of the C5.
As per the regulations, one set of Soft tyres must be set aside for use only in Q3 while either the Medium or Hard tyres must be run for at least one stint of the Grand Prix, assuming dry conditions prevail.
Drivers are permitted free choice of compounds for 10 of their allocated 13 sets for the weekend. Those selections must be made 14 weeks in advance for long-haul events and 8 weeks in advance for European rounds.
