The Pirelli 'supersoft' tyre will make its debut at the Monaco Grand Prix in May.
The Italian tyre company have announced their line-up for the next three grand prixs, which will take place in Turkey, Spain and Monaco.
Hot and abrasive conditions in Turkey and Span see the 'hard' compound named the prime tyre which will be used for endurance running while the 'soft' compound will be the option tyre and used for faster laps.
The tight turns of Monaco mean that the 'soft' tyre is the prime option and the 'supersoft' - which will have red markings - will be the option tyre. Monaco will be the first time the 'supersofts' have been used.
"We've considered carefully all the circuit characteristics in order to help provide races as exciting as all the grands prix we have seen so far this year," said Pirelli's Paul Hembery.
"We're very much looking forward to Monaco in particular, where we will see the supersoft tyre in action for the first time. It's quite a different tyre to the rest of the range and should be very effective around the streets of Monte Carlo."
