Unsurprisingly, the C2 'hard' tyre is not a popular choice, with very few drivers bringing more than a single set of the compound.

Ferrari and Red Bull has one more set of the 'soft' C3 compound compared to championship leaders Mercedes, who in turn have 4 sets of the C2 'middle' compound.

Take a look at the full list below.
