Between May and November, the temperature differences are such that we had to adapt. The configuration of the circuit does not fundamentally change the situation, but this difficult track is known for its low level of grip. It is also asymmetric, with much greater stresses being placed on the right side of the tires. As the regulations provide for in such circumstances, we will bring additional rubber compounds for the front and the rear. We started from the package used in May, and we have added a softer rear compound in case the track is colder, as this will complement the Soft and Medium compounds (which become Medium and Hard), which worked very well during both the Tissot Sprint and the Grand Prix. These three rear tires will be asymmetric, with a reinforced right shoulder. For the front we have decided not to bring the Hard compound MICHELIN Power Slick that we had in May because we think it would not be used. Instead, we are keeping the Soft and Medium options, to which we are a
