F1 teams braced for FIA tyre change at British Grand Prix
All F1 teams on the 2025 grid are gearing up for a major tyre allocation switch at the upcoming British Grand Prix. Pirelli has announced a revised set of compounds different from last year’s Silverstone race allocation. This weekend, the teams will have the C2 (hard), C3 (medium), and C4 (soft) tyres available, one step harder than the previous Austrian GP compounds. The goal is to provide teams with a wider range of strategic options during the race. Wet weather is expected at Silverstone, where the title fight will intensify between current leaders, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen, with Lando Norris and surprise contender George Russell in the mix as well. Lewis Hamilton, seeking a podium return, will draw inspiration from his past success at the UK track in 2024.
