Pirelli to trial new compound in Mexico as tyre selections announced
Pirelli will be testing a new tyre compound, the C4, during practice for the Mexico City Grand Prix. The upcoming triple-header races in the United States, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo will take place consecutively between October 20th and November 5th. In the sprint races in Austin and Interlagos, Pirelli will provide the C2, C3, and C4 compounds as the Hard, Medium, and Soft tyres, respectively. The tyre selection for the Mexico City Grand Prix will be one step softer than previous years, with the C3 becoming the Hard, the C4 becoming the Medium, and the C5 becoming the Soft tyre. During practice, teams will be given two sets of the experimental C4 compound per driver to use at their discretion. Pirelli has not utilized the C0 compound in any race this year and has typically used the harder C1-C2-C3 selection for high-load races. For the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix, Pirelli has selected the C1-C2-C3 compounds.
