This weekend's European GP will see Pirelli's new medium tyre compound, the PZero White, make its 'prime' debut. The PZero Yellow soft has been chosen as the 'option' tyre.
The medium tyre is not as durable as the hards, say Pirelli, but it is quicker and represents a significant step in range over the option tyre.
"Tyre wear on this circuit [Valencia] is likely to be quite high because of the track layout, the nature of the surface, and also the weather conditions, which should be very warm. For all these reasons, we've selected the medium and soft tyres, which should provide the teams with a good level of resistance, plenty of different opportunities for strategy and about a second per lap difference between the compounds."
Whether this difference will lead to increased overtaking on a track where it is notoriously difficult to pass remains to be seen.
