Both Mercedes and Ferrari drivers have selected the same tyre choices for this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, who are separated by a single point at the top of the championship table, will each have nine sets of super-softs, three sets of softs and one set of mediums for the Hungaroring weekend.

Drivers are required to have a set of mediums available for the race. However with the exception of the Haas drivers all the teams have taken at least nine sets of the softest available tyres.

    1. ”Drivers are required to have a set of mediums available for the race.” – Actually, they’re required to have at least a set of both mediums and soft available for the race, not just medium.
