Pirell have revealed the compounds they will take to the next three races in Turkey, Spain and Monaco.
The Turkish and Spanish races will use the hard and soft tyres, like the two previous races in Australia and Malaysia as well as this weekends Chinese GP.
The supersoft tyre, which has red markings, will make its debut at the Monte Carlo GP where the tight and twisty confines of the famous street circuit won’t have such an abrasive effect on the tyre surface. The soft will be used as the second compound.
“We’ve considered carefully all the circuit characteristics in order to help provide races as exciting as all the grands prix we have seen so far this year,” said Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery.
“We’re very much looking forward to Monaco in particular, where we will see the supersoft tyre in action for the first time. It’s quite a different tyre to the rest of the range and should be very effective around the streets of Monte Carlo.”
The tyres will also feature new markings to distinguish them from one another, starting at the Turkish GP in three weeks time.
