Soft

The softest of the three available dry compounds, the P Zero Red Soft tyres are also the mandatory Q3 compound – competitors reaching qualifying’s final shootout receive one set of this compound for use in Q3 only for their final attempts to take pole position. Whilst this will be the tyre of choice to achieve maximum out-and-out pace during a weekend, endurance is limited and timing a pit stop to change to one of the other compounds at the optimum point will be key to overall race performance.
