Related Topics: Formula One, Brazil

Formula One tyre supplier Pirelli has revealed the tyre selections for the Brazilian Grand Prix, with little variation between the front running teams and drivers.

Mercedes, which followed up winning its fourth consecutive constructors' championship at the U.S. Grand Prix by celebrating Lewis Hamilton's title triumph in Mexico last weekend, has opted for eight sets of the super-soft compound and four sets of softs for both Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas.

In slight contrast, 2017 title rivals Ferrari has favoured the red-marked super-soft tyre, picking an extra set of the fastest available compound in Brazil compared to Mercedes.
