2019 United States Grand Prix - Tyre compound choices

Milan, July 18 – Pirelli is bringing the following compounds to the 2019 United States Grand Prix (November 1-3).

US GP NOMINATIONS
Mandatory Sets C1 C2 C3 C4 C5

WHAT'S NEW IN 2019

Just three colours at each race in 2019, with five different compounds available: C1 is the hardest, C5 is the softest.

WHAT’S CONFIRMED

  1. Each driver must save one set of the softest of the three nominated compounds for Q3. This set will then be returned for those who qualify in the top 10, but the remaining drivers will keep it for the race.
  2. Each driver must have both race sets available for the grand prix.

  3. Teams are free to choose the remaining 10 sets, making 13 sets in total for the weekend.

  4. Selections for long-haul events have to be made 14 weeks in advance; for European races the deadline is 8 weeks in advance.
