Last week of break before the tournover that awaits us in the hot month of July. 4 races in a month, starting from Silverstone. However, the Milanese manufacturer is waiting to get back on track Pirelli ha officialized also the nominations of the last "stint" of compounds that will accompany us until the summer break, in the Austria (10th of July) , France (July 24) and Hungary (July 31) at the end of this first part of the season.
New in Austria
After seeing them at Imola al Red Bull Ring they will come back Sprint qualifications! the Austrian track will host the second round of the season with the 100 km mini-race on Saturday, which will determine the starting grid on Sunday. The last sprint awaits us instead in Brazil, in Interlagos. But let's see what's new as regards the mixes which we will see in Austria, in the home game of Red Bull.
For the appointment in Austria Pirelli has chosen the softer compounds of the lot: PZero White Hard C3 , PZero Yellow Medium C4 and PZero Red Soft C5 and a more aggressive mix compared to last year, which included the C4 as soft.
France and Hungary, no compound jumps
Also for the next Grands Prix there will be no compound jump. For the French Grand Prix, on the route of the Paul ricard Pirelli has decided to go down one step. The hardest will therefore be the PZero White Hard C2, the average PZero Yellow Medium C3, while the softest is the PZero Red Soft C4.
Same choice also for the Hungarian Grand Prix, at the Hungaroring, for the last appointment before the summer break.
With the announcement, Pirelli took the opportunity to recall part of the sports regulation regarding the use of the tires during this season: the riders will have to keep a set of Softs for Q3, while those excluded from the top 10 will have to return them instead. Furthermore, during the race, all riders must have a set of Medium and one Hard tires available and they must obligatorily use one of these during the GP.
In the meantime, we remind you that a Silverstone, for the weekend that goes from 1 to 3 July, the compounds chosen by Pirelli are those harder of the range: C1, C2 and C3.
