Editor

Going into the 16th race of the season, Pirelli have reaveled the tyre choices made by each driver for the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix.

The drivers had a choice between hard, medium and soft compounds, with all of them selecting similar strategies.

Interestingly, Nico Rosberg has again gone for a different strategy to Lewis Hamilton, with the German opting for an extra set of mediums instead of hards.

At the Ferrari camp, like Mercedes, they have also chosen different strategies, with Sebastian Vettel choosing the same tyres as his Mercedes countryman and Kimi Raikkonen mirroring Hamilton’s selection.

Going aggressive, Toro Rosso duo Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat have chosen eight soft compounds tyre sets each, the most out of any other team on the grid.
