What Are the Tyre Options for the 2026 British GP?

Formula 1 heads to Silverstone for Round 9 of the 2026 season, with the British Grand Prix taking place at the circuit that has hosted the event every year since 1987. Pirelli has selected its hardest tyre compounds for the race, with the C1 as the Hard, C2 as the Medium, and C3 as the Soft — a step harder than the compounds used at the same event in 2025. Silverstone's high-speed sector two, featuring corners such as Copse, Maggotts, Becketts, and Chapel, is known to be particularly demanding on front tyres.
