Pirelli unveils tire compounds in Barcelona

On the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit, which the paddock knows every nook and cranny, Pirelli opted for its toughest range when it comes to the P Zeros. The options for drivers at the Spanish Grand Prix range from hard C1, medium C2 and soft C3 tyres. With this decision, the Italian group remains faithful to its choice of last year by keeping the same compounds. 

The Barcelona circuit is well-known to the # Fit4F1 teams from testing and previous races. A wide-ranging layout also demands the hardest compounds in the range!

By returning to Spain, the teams will be able to see the impact of the changes since pre-season testing at the end of February. “ The teams will have a good opportunity to assess the progress they have made with their cars since the start of the season, although the weather conditions will be much warmer and there will likely be many more stints on the hard tires that during testing, which will perhaps be the key to the race, says Mario Isola, head of the F1 department at Pirelli. In the past, Barcelona has traditionally been a two-stop race, so it will be interesting to see if this year's new generation of tires leads anyone to aim for just one stop. "
