Pirelli confirms compounds for final races

NEWS STORY

Pirelli has confirmed the tyre compounds to ve used in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

The choices for all three remain unchanged from last year: the softest trio of compounds (C3, C4 and C5) will be available for Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, while the hardest selection (C1, C2 and C3) will be allocated for Qatar.

At Lusail, a circuit characterised by high-speed corners and high levels of energy transfer to the tyres, the more conservative selection helps manage the loads imposed on the tyres, particularly on the front axle.

The challenges presented by the street circuits in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi are of a very different nature. On the track that winds its way along the Strip, the low temperatures typically experienced at this time of year, combined with the need to bring the tyres quickly into their operating window, led to the choice of the softest compounds.

At Yas Marina also, the softest trio has proved to be the most suitable option for promoting an adequate range of strategic possibilities, offering the right balance between performance and degradation.
