Monza tyre compounds confirmed by Pirelli

Pirelli have revealed the three tyre compounds that will be made available for September’s Formula 1 Gran Premio Heineken d'Italia 2016.

For the Monza event, teams can choose from the white-marked mediums, the yellow-marked softs and the red-marked supersofts.

Under 2016 rules, drivers must have one set of mediums and one set of hards available for the race, and must use at least one of them.

Each driver will also have to save one set of supersofts for the Q3 qualifying session. This set will be given back to Pirelli after Q3 for those who qualify in the top 10, but the remaining drivers will keep it for the race.

The teams are free to choose the 10 remaining sets per driver permitted from the three available compounds, making up 13 sets in total for the weekend.
