In a nutshell: which tyres for the Australian GP?

Pirelli's primer infograph for next weekend's Australian Grand Prix provides concise but useful information about the tyres which will be in use.

"The teams completed 7427 laps of Barcelona during pre-season testing, using all the compounds but concentrating on the medium and soft tyres, which were the ones best suited to Montmeló, says Pirelli's Mario Isola.

"In Melbourne, it's going to be interesting to collect more data on the ultrasoft and supersoft compounds, which we’ve not been able to fully assess up to now."
