Formula One official tyre supplier Pirelli has confirmed the tyre choices each driver has made for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in just under two weeks. The Italian marque will bring the C2, C3 and C4 compounds to the race, as it did at China last weekend. The C4 compound, the softest available to the drivers throughout the weekend, is by far the most popular choice.
Some midfield teams have opted to bring 10 sets of the C4 compound, while the C2 looks set to be relatively unused.
Alfa Romeo drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi have made slightly different tyre choices for the fourth round of the 2019 Formula One season. Kimi Raikkonen will bring just two sets of the C3 Mediums and also two sets of the C2 Hards for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, while the Italian driver will use three sets of C3 Medium and one set of C2 Hard. Both Alfa Romeo drivers will be able to use nine sets of the C4 Red soft tyres during the race weekend.
