Pirelli has announced the tyre compounds it will take to the Mexican Grand Prix in October, going for its most common allocation.
With three tyre compounds available at each race this season, Pirelli has tended to go for the medium, soft and supersoft - the middle three compounds - at the majority of circuits. Those three tyres will again be used in Mexico this season, which will be the 11th race to see that selection.
Teams have to select their compound choices 14 weeks in advance of a long-haul race - compared to eight weeks for the European races - and are allocated three mandatory sets by Pirelli. One set of supersofts must be available for use in Q3 should a team reach it, while one set of the mediums and one set of the softs must be retained for the race, although only one of those two race sets has to be used.
Teams are free to select the other ten sets of tyres for each driver from the three compounds available, giving them 13 sets in total.
The Mexican Grand Prix takes place from October 27-30, one week after the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
