Teams getting an extra set of tyres for FP1:
Milan – The P Zero Orange hard compound and P Zero White medium compound have been nominated for the Spanish Grand Prix, but there will be some changes to the tyres at the famous Circuit de Catalunya this year.
The P Zero Orange hard compound has evolved,
with the objective of opening up even more
possibilities for strategy. All the other compounds remain unaltered.
There will also be an extra set of prototype
hard tyres allocated for free practice to
encourage all the teams to run throughout the
entire length of the sessions, rather than opt to
conserve tyres for the rest of the race
weekend.
These tyres will not be the same as
the P Zero Orange hard tyres used for the rest
of the weekend, but are instead a specially-
created compound with the emphasis on
durability so that the teams run for as long as
possible. To distinguish these tyres, they will
not carry any colour markings.
