Pirelli has revealed the field's tyre choices for next week's British Grand Prix, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen going for a conservative selection of rubber at Silverstone.

Formula 1's exclusive tyre supplier has described its range for next week as "yellow, white and a bit of ice blue", represented by Pirelli's soft, medium and hard compounds, with the latter rubber appearing for the very first time this season.

Looking at everyone's respective choices, Verstappen stands out, with the Dutchman selecting just seven sets of the yellow rimmed soft tyre, the least of any driver on the grid.

Red bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo has opted for eight sets of the softs, adding three mediums and two hard sets to his allocation.

Interestingly, title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have made identical choices, with eight sets of softs, four sets of the medium tyre and just a single set of the hard compound.

Both Renault and Toro Rosso will be going all-in on the tyre front, with the teams' drivers all opting for 10 sets of Pirelli's soft rubber.

Silverstone is among three tracks - with Barcelona and Paul Ricard - where a new, more brasive surface has been laid down this year.
