Formula One official tyre supplier Pirelli has confirmed the tyres that each driver will bring to the French Grand Prix in two weeks’ time at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet.
The Italian marque is bringing the middle range allocation available to it, with the C2 being the hardest compound, the C3 the middle and the C4 the softest. The C4 compound is the clear favourite for the weekend, however some teams have opted for three sets of the C3, with Max Verstappen going for four.
Scuderia Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc made an identical choice regarding the tyres, with one set of the C2 compound, the sets of C3 and nine sets of the softest tyres, just like Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.
Renault, Haas, Alfa Romeo and Toro Rosso have all chosen to bring 10 sets of the C4 compound, which is likely to be the most favourable in qualifying.
