F1 | What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix?

The F1 paddock heads to Baku this weekend for Round 15 on the calendar, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix – and tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the compounds that will be in use throughout the weekend.

For this year’s event, the three softest compounds in the range have been selected – that being the C3 as the hard, the C4 as the medium and the C5 as the soft. This marks a step down from those used in 2025, where the selection was one step softer and included the C6 (though this was not chosen during the race).
