Pirelli have confirmed the three tyre compounds for the Mexican Grand Prix. They've nominated the hyper-softs, ultra-softs and the super-soft options.

This is the softest set of tyre compounds that Pirelli can choose from. The trio has also featured at Monaco and Canada.

The hypersoft will also feature in races held in Russia and Singapore while the nominations for the final two races are yet to be announced.

For the next race at the Hockenheimring, teams will use tyres that are a step softer than the options available at Silverstone.

Pirelli have nominated the medium, soft and ultra-soft compounds for the German Grand Prix.

Pirelli carried out an in-season tyre test over the last few days. Between four drivers, the cars recorded 509 laps. Another test will be carried out later in the year at the Paul Ricard circuit. This will include wet weather running with sprinklers turned on.
