Pirelli will use the hardest tyres in their range for the next two races in the championship at Spa and Monza.

Whereas last year F1’s official tyre supplier used the soft and medium tyres for the two high-speed tracks, this season they will bring their hard and medium compounds.

Pirelli also used a harder tyre allocation for the previous round in Hungary, swapping soft and super-soft tyres for their medium and soft rubber.

Their soft, medium and hard tyre compounds for 2012 are all softer than they were in 2011.

Pirelli will use their softest tyres for this year’s Singapore Grand Prix, as they did last year.

Here is the 2012 F1 tyre allocation announced so far:

Circuit 2012 Option 2012 Prime 2011 Option 2011 Prime Melbourne Soft Medium Soft Hard Sepang Medium Hard Soft Hard Shanghai Soft Medium Soft Hard Bahrain Soft Medium No race No race Catalunya Soft Hard Soft Hard Monte-Carlo Super-soft Soft Super-soft Soft Montreal Super-soft Soft Super-soft Soft Valencia Soft Medium Soft Medium Silverstone Soft Hard Soft Hard Hockenheimring Soft Medium No race No race Hungaroring Soft Medium Super Soft Soft Spa-Francorchamps Medium Hard Soft Medium Monza Medium Hard Soft Medium Singapore Super Soft Soft Super Soft Soft
