According to AMuS: Pirelli will decide for every race which three tyre compounds can be used. Than the teams can free decide how many of which compound they want for each driver (e.g. 6 super soft, 4 softs, 3 mediums). They can choose overall 13 sets per driver. It doesnt need to be the same for both drivers in the team

Let me guess... Drivers have to use all THREE compounds in the race because that will be good for the show? :smoking:

I think the teams will just choose the softest possible tires at all times, and nothing will really change.

Not wanting to derail the thread but DRS should be banned anyway.

But I agree, the speed difference nowadays is already too big on many occasions and with 3 different compounds the difference in speed between cars on different compounds will only get bigger.

Why should DRS be banned?...because You dont like it! :lol:
