Pirelli has confirmed Formula 1 teams’ tyre choices for next weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, with some variance among the front-runners.
Pirelli has nominated the C3, C4 and C5 compounds in order to cope with the demands placed upon the rubber by the low-energy Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
As per usual Pirelli supplies teams with one set each of the Soft, Medium and Hard tyres, with free choice available for their 10 remaining sets.
Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will have eight sets of Soft tyres available while Ferrari and Red Bull have opted for seven.
Hamilton and Bottas have minor variance in terms of available Medium and Hard tyres, while within Ferrari and Red Bull its drivers have the same compound approach.
McLaren, Racing Point and Alfa Romeo have adopted the most aggressive stance by selecting nine sets of the Soft compound.
