Slick Tyres
Pirelli uses a color-coding system to differentiate between the different types of tyres available for use during a race weekend. These colors are white, yellow and red, and each represents different compound of tyre with distinct characteristics.
In case of wet conditions we use
WET TYRES
Green
Intermediate
The intermediates are the most versatile of the rain tyres. They can be used on a wet track with no standing water, as well as a drying surface. The compound has been designed to have a wide working range, guaranteeing a wide crossover window both with the slicks and the full wets.
Blue
Full wet
The full wet tyres are the most effective for heavy rain, capable of dispersing impressive quantities of water. But if it rains heavily, visibility rather than grip causes issues, leading to race stoppages on occasions. The profile delivers increased resistance to aquaplaning, which gives the tyre more grip in heavy rain.
