Formula 1 tyre supplier Pirelli is yet to confirm how it will distinguish the two available tyre types during Grand Prix weekends this season, but insists that a system will be in place for the opening race in mid-March.
Since 2007 and with four dry tyre compounds available, drivers have been obliged to use the two on offer per race weekend - both the harder (Prime) and Option (softer) – over the course of a race distance.
As seen in recent seasons, former supplier Bridgestone placed a green stripe on the Option compound in order for quick recognition during Grands Prix. However, Pirelli is yet to decide its final means of identification.
“There is no news yet but it will be ready for the Bahrain Grand Prix,” a company spokesperson explained to GPUpdate.net on Wednesday morning.
