From BBC - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/formula1/43287922Vettel, Hulkenberg, Gasly, Vandoorne, Ericsson, Perez, Sainz - hypersoft
Magnussen, Kubica - supersoft
Verstappen, Stroll - soft
Bottas, Hamilton - mediumNot heard of "hypersoft" tyres before  No mention of Ultrasoft in list above ... are hypersofts softer than ultrasoft, or is it the same tyre with a new name? |

So hypersoft will be very fast but wear out quicker....so can a driver get a 20 plus second advantage or more to put on several sets during a race ?

I am presuming that like previous seasons, they will have a set amount of tyre sets for the entire weekend, the mix of which they have to request a fair bit in advance (not sure how much in advance - maybe weeks or even months?). How many sets they save for the actual race (and qualifying as well) will be interesting  |
