The tyre manufacturer is to bring a rarely used tyre to Melbourne.
Pirelli is introducing the softest C5 tyre to the Australian Grand Prix in 2024, marking its first appearance this year. The decision not to use the C5 in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia was due to the demanding track conditions and minimal testing during the pre-season. This contrasts with the 2023 season at Albert Park where C2, C3, and C4 compounds were utilized. The trend continues from 2022 when the softest tyre was used in Melbourne post-COVID, with the C4 staying out of the mix. The C5 tyre remains unchanged from 2023, with limited team usage during Bahrain testing.
