What tyres will the teams have for the Spanish Grand Prix?

The 2026 Spanish Grand Prix will be held at the newly constructed Madring, marking its debut on the Formula 1 calendar. Pirelli has confirmed that the tyre compounds available will include C2 as hard, C3 as medium, and C4 as soft, with specific allocations for drivers throughout the race weekend.

Tyre management is expected to be crucial due to the smooth surface of the track. The circuit is designed to challenge drivers with its fast first sector and a variety of corner types, including the demanding 'Monumental' corner. Pirelli has conducted extensive research and simulations over the past three years to prepare for the unique conditions at Madring.
