TYRES DURING THE 2016 SEASON
Pirelli - the official supplier to all teams - provides three options for each race based on analysis of each individual racing circuit. Each driver must make use of at least two different (dry) tyre compounds in each race - unless it rains and intermediates or wets are used. Each team has thirteen spaces for dry weather tyre allocation of the three different tyre types selected by Pirelli for the race. Each team is provided with four sets of intermediate tyres and three sets of wet tyres. Of these thirteen sets, two are determined by Pirelli and can be either one or two types of tyre.
One set of tyres must be handed back to Pirelli 40 minutes into Free Practice 1.
One set of tyres must be handed back after Free Practice 1.
Two sets of tyres must be handed back after Free Practice 2.
Two sets of tyres must be handed back after Free Practice 3.
The two sets mandated for use by Pirelli may not be handed back and must be available for use in the race.
The hardness differences in the tyres is due to the chemical ratios used in construction, with softer tyres containing more oil than their harder counterparts - in addition to carbon, sulphur and the rubber. Softer tyres have the advantage of providing higher speed with the disadvantage of having less durability. They may be inflated with only air or nitrogen. Moisture may not be removed from the air prior to inflation.
- WET - Wet weather - Used when the track is wet with standing water. Treaded. Compulsorily used if the race starts in rain.
- INTERMEDIATE - Wet weather - Used when the track is wet without standing water. Treaded.
- ULTRA SOFT - Dry weather - Most grip, least durable. Slick tread.
- SUPER SOFT - Dry weather - Slick tread.
- SOFT - Dry weather - Slick tread.
- MEDIUM - Dry weather - Slick tread.
- HARD - Dry weather - Least grip. Most durable. Slick tread.
Notice; the lack of tread on dry tyres.
Thus far, the 2016 season has seen the following choices made by Pirelli for the individual tracks: AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM CHINESE GRAND PRIX - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA - HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT GRAND PRIX DE MONACO - ULTRA SOFT, SUPER SOFT, SOFT GRAND PRIX DU CANADA - ULTRA SOFT, SUPER SOFT, SOFT GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM GROSSER PREIS VON ÖSTERREICH - ULTRA SOFT, SUPER SOFT, SOFT BRITISH GRAND PRIX - HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT MAGYAR NAGYDÍJ - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM GROSSER PREIS VON DEUTSCHLAND - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX - ULTRA SOFT, SUPER SOFT, SOFT BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - SUPER SOFT, SOFT, MEDIUM

Ferrari are terrible these days. Without Schuii they are nothing. Not to mention the backroom staff.

Well not as bad as pre Schumi days but were sure not moving ahead as expected of late. It does look bad mind you considering they have the 2nd biggest budget, the wheels had fallen off after looking promising start of the season. Losing Allison and his commitment prior to departure part of it. Hopefully some light sooner rather than later, especially for the sport :)

On Schumi, his son Mick actually attended his very first F1 event last week at Grosser Preis von Deutschland. Thankfully his management and family are holding him away from media because they just swarm him, and he's still really young. I'm not sure which division he is in at the moment but Ferrari will surely be keeping him as close to them as possible for the future.
Ferrari's engine this year has just been a mess. It's so unpredictable. I mean, it's difficult enough dealing with the beastly engine that Mercedes have come up with, with the turbo system, but Ferrari haven't helped themselves. They can count themselves lucky that Red Bull have unleashed some momentous fuck ups and deployed just some plainly stupid strategies this year otherwise they'd be so far behind at this point they would barely be able to make up any points in the constructor's championship to even get near second place.
Also, if you guys want me to put the constructors points into one of the posts, let me know and I'll get it done. If you want anything else in there that's to do with calendars/tables/etc just let me know.

I was listening to the comments of young Schumi attending, very sad, it was said he was hounded just as if he was a current F1 star driver. The press globally are leaches can't stop it I'm afraid. Yer, well I keep watching F1 due to having Fox but the game overall is in limbo land. The eco green is making it really challenging to appease to this change, the ridiculous F1 rules and silly changes back and forth make it worse, the lack of competition another, it goes on and on but as long as Bernie keeps adding to his $6b nothing much will change for now. Yep, thank god RB have been stuffing up (sorry for Dan though) for they sure would be after 4th otherwise. Draups, another car forum I frequent post up tire compounds and qtys for each team prior to each race if you like. Why not add the Manufacturers standings if you don't mind.

Good idea re; compounds, if I find it listed in a decent format I'll do that for sure. Maybe I'll do a separate thread for each race as that way the first post can have quali times/tyre compounds. Will add the standings now!

Suffering from some serious semantic satiation right now. The amount of times I just read the word "soft" in my tyres update has made it utterly meaningless. Just look at how it's spelt. Such a silly word.

I don't remember if I asked this during the race as it was a while back, but as you all know, dry races this year mean that teams have to use at least one of the two compounds that Pirelli say it must use. Did anyone find it weird that they made BOTH compounds for the Canadian GP the soft compound, as apposed to say, the soft and the supersoft?

The ultrasoft is primarily picked (it's specifically designed in other words) for street circuits like Canada and Monaco - Renault decided not to even take the supersoft to Canada because of that fact, and just took soft and ultrasoft, even for pratice and qualis. The teams must use at least two compounds. Hamilton who won it used ultrasoft and soft and only made the one pitstop. Vettel who came in second used all three varieties. Grosjean used three sets of ultrasoft and one set of soft.

Grosjean used three sets of ultrasoft and one set of soft. Actually, Pirelli pick specific compounds to be set aside. Example, Soft, Medium and Hard are the compounds. Generally, they have made teams keep a set of Softs for Q3, and they must use one of the Medium and Hards for the race. But, what they said in the tyre choices for Canada, was they had to use one of two Compounds of the soft tyre.

Spa, one of the true best tracks still in F1. Love it ! I remember watching the day Mansell got the shits with Senna's bullying over taking tactics and typically screwed up Mansells race, Mansell storms to Senna pit grabbing him jamming him to the wall about the let loose - love those good ol days of raw emotions and personality's compared to todays nothings (barring kimi,DR and some others) and then we have Hamilton, the spoiled baby of a champ having hardly had any comp for years.

Mate don't get me started on Hamilton. What the fuck is with his put on American accent? Everything about that bloke is total cringe. A few of the guys are still fiery (without being whingers like Vettel). Webber was good fun, Not sure if you saw it, but when Johnny Herbert said that Fernando Alonso should retre, Alonso had some short sweet words, haha.

I think the most cringeworthy thing I've ever seen in F1 was this season actually. Justin Bieber was at the Monaco GP and waited for Hamilton at the podium area after the race lol. Before Hamilton congratulated his team he went to talk to Bieber who said "You crushmed em dawg". Fuck it was bad. And then Hamilton shared the champagne with him.
Honest Grade F- human being.

Good old days :D I recently tried playing the newer F1 games and they are nigh-on impossible with a traditional controller because the steer and throttle are so sensitive (like a real F1 cockpit, so fair enough). They're only really worth playing if you have a decent wheel imo. I wish it wasn't the case, but what can ya do.

He maybe getting old er but you don't weave in front of a competitor like Max has been doing for quite a few races this year. He's going to cause a huge accident if his head doesn't get pulled in. Idiot tbh. Spa did deliver despite the MB dominance. The track is so fast was wonderful watching the cars sling shot out of sweepers and the climb up the hill is to die for ! The rules are pathetic - new motors or parts changed your penalised countless spots. Alonso had something like 35 lol......

I think Max has been out of line for a few incidents, but in Spa, I mean what can he do? Just because Kimi behind him moved first, shouldn't mean he isn't allowed to move to defend the line afterwards (he hadn't made his one move yet), and Kimi wasn't alongside him yet. And regarding the grid penalties: absolutely right! They shouldn't be allowed to take that many penalties that are regardless because they've taken so many.

I agree, nothing wrong defending your spot but his reactions have been quite aggressive that being behind you'd be wondering what's coming next in those crucial milly seconds that could turn into disaster at those speeds. It's not that he's just shifting over or closing the space but weaving.

Good easy Nico win at Monza. Damn, this nice fast open track showed its MB 1st the rest a distant 3rd down. Glad Ferrari's performed better after all a home race finishing 3/4 but damn all other teams need to find more speed. Great move by DR on Bottas.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/126570/hamilton-walks-out-of-media-briefingLewis Hamilton walks out of F1 media briefing over recent coverageHamilton has threatened to limit future media engagements over a Formula 1 race weekend in the wake of "disrespectful" coverage of his behaviour in the FIA press conference on Thursday. The reigning three-time world champion appeared for his regular Saturday evening slot with the media at Suzuka, and started things off by saying he had something "not good" on his mind. He added: "I'm not actually here to answer your questions, I've decided. "With the utmost respect there are many of you here who are super-supportive of me, and those of you will hopefully know that I know who you are. "But there are others, unfortunately, who often take advantage of certain things. "The other day was a super-lighthearted thing, and if I was disrespectful to any of you guys, or you felt I was disrespectful, it honestly was not the intention. "It was just a little bit of fun. "But what was more disrespectful was what was then written worldwide. "Unfortunately there are some people here and it's not them [that have written negative things], and unfortunately the decision I take affects those who have been super-supportive, so that's why I'm saying with the utmost respect. "But, yeah, I don't plan on sitting here many more times at these kind of things, so my apologies, and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend." Hamilton's words were in response to the reports that followed his actions during the official driver press conference on Thursday at Suzuka.
With questions being asked to other drivers around him, Hamilton was uploading pictures he was taking on his mobile phone to his Snapchat account, including one of himself with cartoon rabbit ears, whiskers and a carrot, and with the message: "This shit is killing me." A further picture followed of Carlos Sainz, who was sat behind him, complete with a fox's ears and nose. With the press conference being beamed live, Hamilton was asked to share what he was looking at, to which he replied: "It's quite funny. Just some snaps of us drivers. "We've been doing this [the FIA press conferences] a long, long time and it's the same each time so got to keep adding new things to it." Asked after practice on Friday for his thoughts on what Hamilton had done the day before, Sainz said: "I understand both sides. "I know when I go to a dinner, and when I speak with my dad on the phone, he doesn't like it. "The same as I understand you guys didn't like asking a question to Lewis and with him on the phone. "But I also understand he has been doing this for 10 years, that the press conferences have been the same, that he perfectly knew what they were going to ask him - his engine failure and whether he trusts the team or not. "I understand the position behind the cameras and in front of the cameras, and not because I want to be politically correct."
What a little brat.
