Brazilian Grand Prix winners Red Bull have chosen more sets of soft tyres for the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi next week.

F1’s official tyre supplier Pirelli has selected its softest available tyres for the race at Yas Marina . They are two stages softer than the rubber used at Interlagos last weekend.

Red Bull has chosen nine sets for each of its drivers, one more than Mercedes and Ferrari. Toro Rosso and Williams are the only other teams to have done the same as Red Bull.

While Red Bull have only selected the mandatory single set of hard tyres for each of its drivers, Mercedes and Ferrari have each picked an extra set, for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc respectively. This will give them the opportunity to evaluate how the tyre works in practice and still have a new set for each of its drivers in the race.
