2016 Brazilian Grand Prix Tyre Compounds

Orange hard: used for only the fifth time in 2016. Mandatory set: must be available for the race.

• White medium: another mandatory set, which is set to form a key part of the race strategy.
• Yellow soft: despite the heavy demands of the track, this compound has raced in Brazil before.

What happened a year ago

Nico Rosberg won the 71-lap race with a three-stop strategy, starting on soft and then stopping for mediums on laps 13, 33 and 48. The top three all stopped three times. Best alternative strategy: Kimi Raikkonen finished fourth with a two-stop strategy, starting on soft and then switching to mediums on laps 12 and 46.
