Pirelli tyre chief Mario Isola insists 2018 tyre range won't confuse F1 fans

Pirelli does not think fans will have difficulty understanding its expanded 2018 tyre range once they have seen the compounds in action.

F1's official tyre supplier has added two new tyres to either end of its range for 2018, a super-hard tyre (marked with ice blue colours on the wall) and a hyper-soft (marked with pink). The tyres differ to give teams different options at races: harder tyres will be slower over one lap, but more durable, while softer tyres are quicker over one lap but last less time in a race.
