Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo has called on Pirelli to bring the hypersoft tyre compound to every grand prix.
Pirelli's new hypersoft will make its debut at the Monaco GP, but Ricciardo believes having it available all year round will bring an element of unpredictability.
"I don't know why we can't have the hypersoft at every race," the Australian said.
"Or at least we qualify on it and maybe figure it out after that.
"But at least we've got a qualifying tyre and then bigger differences in the race to create a bit more opportunity.

"For the top six it was already obvious from Friday at Barcelona we were going to qualify on the soft in Q2, to start the race on that compound and try to do a one-stop with the medium. That's no secret.
"That's what it is - just trying to create more options, more surprises, because it's a bit predictable for now."
