The F1 paddock heads to Baku this weekend for Round 15 on the calendar, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix – and tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the compounds that will be in use throughout the weekend.
For this year’s event, the three softest compounds in the range have been selected – that being the C3 as the hard, the C4 as the medium and the C5 as the soft.
This marks a step down from those used in 2025, where the selection was one step softer and included the C6 (though this was not chosen during the race).
Drivers will get two sets of the hard tyre (marked white), three sets of the medium tyre (marked yellow), and eight sets of the soft tyre (marked red), as well as access to the green intermediate tyre and the blue full wets, should they be required.
