Pirelli announces tyre choices for Hungarian Grand Prix

Published on 12 July 2016 by Mike Motilall

The F1 sole tyre supplier Pirelli has revealed the different tyre choices for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Italian based company supplies three tyre-compounds every GP-weekend. It is mandatory for the teams to use two during the race.

Just like the British Grand Prix, most teams have opted to make the same selection of tyres for both of their drivers. Haas F1 is once again the exception to the rule on the Hungaroring.

The Ferrari squad decided to go for a more aggressive approach by choosing nine sets of the super-soft compound tyre. As the season progresses, it appears that the choices by the different teams are getting quite comparable.
