Tyre usage

A reduction in allocated tyre sets from the standard 13 to 11 is set to be trialled during this Grand Prix, with the intention of making tyre usage more sustainable. The usage of tyre compounds during qualifying will be mandated as hard in Q1, medium in Q2 and soft in Q3, only when that the weather is dry.

Mid-Season Changes

Prior to the Grand Prix, Scuderia AlphaTauri announced that Nyck de Vries would be replaced by Daniel Ricciardo from this Grand Prix onwards.
