Pirelli, sole official tyre supplier to the Formula One world Championship, will be supplying the ten teams with the following three tyre compounds for the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekendโ€ฆ

P Zero White mediumย โ€“ less grip, less wear (used for long-race stints)
This is Pirelli's most balanced tyre, with an ideal compromise between performance and durability. It is extremely versatile, but it often comes into its own on circuits that tend toward high speeds, high temperatures and high-energy loadings. It is a low working-range compound.

P Zero Yellow softย โ€“ more grip, medium wear (used for shorter-race stints and for initial portion of qualifying)
This is one of the most frequently used tyres in Pirelli's range, as it strikes a balance between performance and durability, with the accent on performance. It is still geared toward speed rather than long distances, but it remains capable of providing teams with a competitive advantage at the beginning of the race when cars are carrying a full fuel load, and at the end of the race where the fuel load is much lighter and the race effectively becomes a sprint. It is a high working-range compound.

P Zero Red supersoftย โ€“ highest amount of grip, highest amount of wear (used for qualifying and select race situations) This is the second softest tyre in Pirelli's range, and it is ideal for tight and twisting circuits, especially in cold weather when maximum grip is needed. The supersofts warm up rapidly, which has made it a stalwart choice for qualifying. But with increased grip comes increased degradation. It is a low working-range compound.

The Brazilian Grand Prix marks the ninth time these three compounds have been packaged together. Teams most recently used this tyre compilation in the Japanese Grand Prix Oct. 6-8 at Suzuka Circuit. For last year's Brazilian Grand Prix, the Orange hard, White medium and Yellow soft compounds were used.

The Yellow soft tyre has been used in every grand prix this season.

The Red supersoft tire has been used everywhere except the Spanish Grand Prix.

The White medium tire has been used in the Chinese Grand Prix, the Bahrain Grand Prix, the Spanish Grand Prix, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the British Grand Prix, the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Italian Grand Prix, the Malaysian Grand Prix and, most recently, the Japanese Grand Prix.
