The Italian manufacturer announces the compound allocations of their tires for the first four rounds of the 2011 season.
The team will be able to choose between the hard and the soft tires in Bahrain, Australia, Malaysia and China. "This decision has been made in accordance with the track characteristics in the Middle and Far East, which offer high grip and a wide variety of speeds and corners, as well as ambient and track temperatures that are likely to be high," said Pirelli in a statement. Pirelli said its decision is to force two pitstops at every race. "The valuable data that we've collected from both official and private testing has shown us that our nomination of hard and soft tires is the best way forward for both the drivers and the spectators, so we look forward now to a successful Grand Prix debut and a great show in the Middle and Far East over the next four races," said Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery. "We've enjoyed great collaboration with the teams so far, and with the nominated compounds for the next four races now known, I am sure that this will help to focus their development for the start of the season."
