Formula 1 teams have loaded up on Ultrasoft tyres for next weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Sole supplier Pirelli has nominated the Ultrasoft, Supersoft and Soft compounds to cope with the demands of the Baku City Circuit, which has switched from a June to an April date for its third Formula 1 event.
Both Ferrari drivers will have 10 sets of Ultrasofts available from their weekend allocation of 13, with Mercedes having nine sets and Red Bull eight.
Renault has been the most conservative operation, choosing seven sets of the purple-ringed compound.
As per usual, one set of the softest option (Ultrasoft) must be cast aside for use only in Q3, while either the Supersofts or Softs must be run for one stint of the race, assuming dry conditions prevail.
