Pirelli has revealed its tyre nominations for the final four races of the 2015 season, with the Italian brand bringing its P Zero softs and mediums to the returning Mexican Grand Prix.
For the other three rounds, Pirelli, which will remain as Formula One’s sole tyre supplier through to 2019, has decided to pick the same compounds as last year.
Teams and drivers will thus use the yellow-walled soft and white-banded medium tyre at Circuit of the Americas in a little less than a fortnight. As F1 then makes its first trip to the new-look Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez since 1992, Pirelli’s “simulation data has indicated that [the soft/medium combination] will also be the best choice” for Mexico.
Same situation for the Brazilian Grand Prix where Pirelli thinks bringing softs and mediums “should provide a range of strategy options and between two and three pit stops for most competitors, with conditions which could also be as hot as they were in Sao Paulo last season.”
The season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will see a return of Pirelli’s red-walled supersoft tyres for the first time since Russia, while the yellow-banded softs will serve as the harder compound at Yas Marina.
