Formula One: Pirelli to change tyres for European GP
Pirelli will now bring the soft and medium compounds to Valencia.
BERLIN:
Pirelli will now bring the soft and medium compounds to Valencia for the European Grand Prix, after having originally announced that they would be taking the supersoft compound. The unique demands of the Valencia street circuit mean that Pirelli will introduce its brand new medium tyre in Spain this weekend, which was tested during free practice in Canada two weeks ago. The PZero White medium tyre is not quite as durable as the hard tyre seen during the first five grands prix of the season, but it is quicker while still representing a significant step in range over the PZero Yellow soft tyre, which is the option tyre in Valencia.
