via grandprix.comPirelli prepares for Madring's Monumental challengePirelli has chosen its tire selection for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix at Madring, opting for the C2, C3, and C4 tires. This decision is based on circuit data and team simulations, as the new circuit lacks historical race data, making it challenging to predict tire performance accurately.
The unique characteristics of Madring, particularly the long banked corner La Monumental, are expected to create significant vertical and lateral forces.
