Pirelli has announced that the soft and super softs will be used as prime and option tyres for the Canada GP in Montreal next month.
The super soft tyre is set to make its debut at the Monaco GP later this month.Pirelli also said that its medium tyre will make its debut as the prime tyre at Valencia's Grand Prix of Europe, with the super soft as option. That race follows Montreal.
At the British Grand Prix in July, the hard and soft tyres will be prime and option.
"We've come up with tyre nominations that should not only be well suited to the characteristics of each circuit, but also provide a great race for the drivers and spectators," Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery said. "(There will be) plenty of scope for the teams to exercise their strategic skills."
Montreal has similar characteristics to Monaco in terms of grip and traction, while Valencia - which is a street circuit - is quicker than Monaco. Silverstone is one of the quickest tracks.
The Italian tyre brand has drawn widespread praise since returning to the F1 grid this season after a 20-year absence to replace Japanese manufacturer Bridgestone as the sole supplier until 2013.
