Formula One Tyre Compounds
Modern Formula One tyres are all manufactured by Pirelli. The primary three tyre compounds include the red walled soft tyres, which maximize grip and cornering at high speeds in exchange for longevity, yellow walled medium tyres which balance performance and durability, and the white walled hard tyre which has the longest lifespan but the weakest performance of the three slick compounds. For instances where there is inclement weather, there are also green walled intermediate tyres for more grip on wet surfaces, as well as blue walled full-wet tyres when the track conditions are flooded with water. Tyre compounds are a big piece of a teams pitstop strategy with rapidly changing conditions playing a factor in what compound a team decides to use. They also play a huge role in qualifying for a grand prix. Anyone who qualifies in the top ten positions must start the race on the compound they qualified on (except for uncontrollable circumstances), while those who did not make it to the top 10 may use any compound of their choosing. Failure to adhere to the regulations set by the FIA can result in grid penalties and fines.
