9:51 – Leading Formula 1 teams Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull have taken different stances regarding tyre compounds for next weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix.
Pirelli has nominated its softest three compounds – the Ultra Softs, Super Softs and Softs – for the event at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Out of the front-running teams, Mercedes has taken the most aggressive stance, with both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas having nine sets of Ultra Softs from its 13-set allocation.
Ferrari, meanwhile, will have seven sets of Ultra Softs available, while Red Bull has adopted a relatively conservative stance, with six sets of the purple-banded compound for Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.
