Tyre allocation

Pirelli will bring the two softest tyres in their range – the yellow-marked soft and the red-banded supersoft – to Singapore this weekend.

The Italian firm say that due to the race being held at night and the venue being a street circuit, these tyres “will provide maximum mechanical grip”.
