Pirelli is to stick with the same tire allocations for the Canadian, European and British Grands Prix that it used last year.

With much focus on the impact that tires are having on the racing, Pirelli is keen to continue keeping strategic options open as much as possible for the teams. For Canada it will take the super-soft and soft compounds, in Valencia teams will have the soft and medium, while at Silverstone there will again be a double gap in the compounds with the hard and the soft being used.
