Red Bull Racing will be going with an aggressive tyre choice for the Belgian GP at Spa, with both its drivers predominantly betting on Pirelli's Ultrasoft compound.
The Milton Keynes-based team's form is ramping up as Daniel Riccairdo and Max Verstappen inch closer to their front-running Mercedes and Ferrari rivals' level of performance.
But the notoriously power-thirsty Spa circuit will likely put Red Bull's Renault-powered RB13 at a disadvantage, hence its aggressive tyre strategy, in a bid to optimise performance, with Ricciardo and Verstappen each choosing nine sets Ultrasofts.
The only other outfit to make a identical choice is McLaren, another team suffering from a relative engine weakness.
Mercedes on the other hand prefers a more conservative approach, with just six sets of the purple-rimmed ultrasoft rubber, while Ferrari's drivers will each have seven sets at their disposal.
As has been the case almost everywhere so far, Pirelli has gone a step softer with its selection of tyres compared to Spa last year.
The Ultrasoft rubber is complimented by the red Supersoft and yellow Softs tyres.
