2018 German GP Tyre Race Sets
A lot of the selected tyres for the grand prix weekend in Germany have been used for practice and qualifying. Because Lewis Hamilton Mercedes broke down at the end of Q2, he still has 4 sets of ultra soft tyres for the race, while Max Verstappen only has 3 used sets left for his Red Bull.
As you know each driver has to make at least one pitstop and switch to a different tyre compound.
Whether or not the German GP is a 1 stopper is yet to be seen. The weather prediction have changed a lot over the last 24 hours. We might even get some rain at 16:00 hours during the race.
This are the race tyres that each driver has left for 67 lapt of the Hockenheim circuit.
