Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will each have eight sets of soft tyres available for the Canadian Grand Prix, one more set than rivals Ferrari.
The C5 (soft), C4 (medium) and C3 (hard) tyres will be used over the weekend in Montreal. Hamilton will take four sets of the medium tyre and just one set of hards. Bottas will have an extra set of hard tyres, but one less medium.
Vettel and Leclerc have identical strategies, with seven softs, five mediums and one hard. Red Bull have gone slightly more conservative.
McLaren, Racing Point and Alfa Romeo will take nine sets of the soft tyre, giving them the most aggressive selection.
