FORMULA 1®

  AND PIRELLI

A partnership that continues to innovate through 2027











Slick Tires

Pirelli uses a color-coding system to differentiate the various types of tires available during a race weekend. The colors white, yellow, and red - each represent a different tire compound, with distinct performance characteristics.

Formula 1® tire compounds
The 2026 P Zero range is made up of five compounds from C1 (the hardest) to C5 (the softest). The letter "C" stands for compound.
The hardest compound is chosen for circuits that put the most stress on the tires. It’s made to handle high heat and heavy loads, allowing for longer stints on track.
The second-hardest compound works well on faster, hotter, and more abrasive circuits. These harder compounds are also sometimes used on new tracks.
This compound is very versatile and can serve as the hardest, middle, or softest option in any three-compound selection. With a good balance of performance and durability, it works well across a wide range of conditions.
This compound is designed for low-severity circuits, where it warms up quickly to reach peak performance. It’s used on many tracks throughout the season.
These tires are made for the slowest circuits with low wear, where strong mechanical grip is important. They’re usually used on tracks with exceptionally smooth asphalt.

In case of wet conditions we use

WET TIRES

Green

Intermediate

The intermediate tires are the most versatile option in the rain range. They work well on wet tracks without standing water, as well as on surfaces that are starting to dry. The compound is designed to perform across a wide range of conditions, offering a smooth transition between slicks and full wet tires.

Full Wet

Full wet tires work best in heavy rain, helping to move large amounts of water off the track. In very heavy conditions, visibility can become the main challenge, sometimes leading to race stoppages. The tire’s profile is designed to help reduce the risk of hydroplaning, giving more confidence when the track is soaked.

The first Formula 1® tires made with FSC™-certified natural rubber

Starting with the 2024 Formula 1® season, Pirelli introduced the sport’s first tires made with Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certified natural rubber¹.

¹ Natural rubber makes up about 18% of the tire’s weight.
