Super soft compound favoured for Hungary GP

Pirelli has announced what tyres each driver will be bringing to the Hungarian Grand Prix in just over a weeks time. The Italian manufacturer nominated the medium, soft and super soft compound, with every team favouring the red-walled super soft tyre. 

Teams can choose 10 sets of tyres from the 13 they are allocated with throughout the weekend. Not one driver chose an additional set of the medium compound, with every team bar Haas taking either 9 or 10 sets of the super soft compound.
