Pirelli announced the choice of mixes available for the next three Grands Prix, those of Canada, Austria and Great Britain, confirming the combinations already used last year.
Pirelli, here are the compounds!
For the Montreal and Spielberg events the "softer" trio will be used, composed of the C3 as P Zero White hard, the C4 as P Zero Yellow medium and the C5 as P Zero Red soft. Opposite the choice for Silverstone where the C1 as Hard, the C2 as Medium and the C3 as Soft will be on stage.
First step, Canada
The track of Montreal, where the Formula 16 Pirelli Grand Prix du Canada will take place from 18 to 1 June, is classified as a medium-fast circuit. Although it has now become a semi-permanent track, the one named in memory of Gilles Villeneuve is characterized by proximity of protective barriers and walls to the ideal line of the route, therefore leaving little margin for error to the pilots, but at the same time it at least offers two points where it is possible to overtake. It is a track where braking stability and traction are fundamental to being competitive. The Canadian Grand Prix is one of the favorite events for drivers and professionals not only because it traditionally offers races full of surprises - the safety car is often the protagonist – but for the atmosphere that reigns in the capital of Quebec during the week of the Grand Prix.
The choices for the Austrian GP
Two weeks later Montreal will be raced the Austrian Grand Prix on a very fast circuit like Spielberg, which presents the smallest number (10) of curves of the entire world championship calendar. The Red Bull Ring event it will be the second of the season with Saturday dedicated to the Sprint race, preceded as in Baku by the Sprint Shootout to determine the positions of the drivers on the starting grid.
News coming to Silverstone
From 7 to 9 July the Formula 1 World Championship will return to where its history began, on that Silverstone circuit which has remained substantially unchanged since the first edition of the British Grand Prix which took place in 1950. On a track that is traditionally very demanding for the tires due to the high levels of energy exerted by the single-seaters, especially laterally given the numerous high-speed corners, the new tire specification will make its debut – more resistant to fatigue thanks to the introduction of an already approved material, scheduled for 2024, but absolutely transparent in terms of performance and technical parameters compared to the specification that is used until the Austrian Grand Prix – tested last Friday by the teams in free practice for the Spanish Grand Prix.
