Episode Details

Pirelli unveils tire compounds for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, featuring three hard options: C1, C2, and C3. Teams receive two sets of hards, three mediums, and eight softs, with an extra soft for top ten qualifiers. A dry race mandates at least two slick compounds. Suzukas challenging layout and smooth but low-grip asphalt, post-resurfacing, may cause graining. The C1 hard makes its debut, potentially influencing strategies. Cooler temps could enable one-stop races. Teams will monitor qualifying and practice for tire performance insights.
