“Pirelli has announced the tyre compounds for the remaining rounds before the summer break, with significant changes for the British and Belgian Grands Prix, opting for softer choices.
While the Red Bull Ring and Hungaroring will feature the same compounds as last season, Silverstone will have a softer selection with C2, C3, and C4.
The bold move to go softer at Silverstone stems from past incidents, while Spa-Francorchamps will see a difference in compound selection to widen performance differentials.
Pirelli aims to create intrigue by introducing compound ‘step’ at Spa, complicating tyre choices and pushing teams towards more strategic decisions for the races.
The focus remains on providing hard choices between one and two-stop strategies, promoting action, unpredictability, and better races without forcing a specific strategy.”
