Canadian Grand Prix tyre selections

Pirelli is expecting a lot of variety on strategy during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. Teams will have the C3, C4 and C5 compounds available to them, the softest in Pirelli's tyre range.

Speaking ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Pirelli boss Mario Isola explained the difficulties facing the teams when they arrive at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

“Broadly speaking, our nomination for Canada is about the same as last year, when the hypersoft also made its second appearance of the year after Monaco,” he said in the tyre manufacturers preview.

“The main difference is that the hardest compound available this weekend is a bit harder than last year as there is no equivalent of the supersoft in the 2019 range, so the choices are more spread out.

“While we have the same nomination as Monaco, a few of the teams have compared Montreal more with Baku, where we made a harder selection because of the higher speeds, longer straights and the challenge of balancing tyre temperatures across the front and rear of the car.

“Montreal is also a race that contains plenty of variety, in terms of strategy, on-track action and weather.

“The teams always go into it not knowing quite what to expect, so it’s especially important to accumulate as much tyre data as possible in order to be able to make an informed reaction to changing circumstances.”

Here is a reminder of what tyres the teams and drivers will have available to them this weekend in Montreal.
