What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia?

For F1’s return to Malaysia after a nine-year absence, the C2, C3 and C4 have been selected as the hard, medium and soft compounds respectively.

Following last weekend’s dramatic race in Azerbaijan, the teams and drivers are heading to the Sepang International Circuit for the rescheduled Bahrain Grand Prix – and tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the compounds that will be available.

Drivers will get two sets of the hard tyre (marked white), three sets of the medium tyre (marked yellow), and eight sets of the soft tyre (marked red), as well as access to the green intermediate tyre and the blue full wets, should they be required.
