F1 2021 Tyre Compounds

Hey guys,
here is an overview of the tyre compounds,
which you have within the game with
their features according to the manufacturers.

The named compounds are the tyre
compounds of the 2020 Formula One season.
All slicks and rain tyres are listed. I have summarized
the different slick versions (C1, C2 and C3).

Soft

• Colour: Red
  
• is ideal for slow and twisty circuits
  
• especially in cold weather, when maximum mechanical grip is needed
  
• benefits from an extremely rapid warm-up time
  
• which makes it ideal in qualifying as well
  
• nevertheless, the tyre degrades quickly
  
• low working range compound

Medium

• Colour: Yellow
  
• one of the most frequently used tyres in the range
  
• striking a very good balance between performance and durability
  
• with the accent on performance
  
• it is biased towards speed rather than long distances
  
• but it is a good choise at the start and in sprint races or rather at the end
  
• medium working range compound

Hard

• Colour: White
  
• is the most perfectly balanced of all the tyres
  
• with an ideal compromise between performance and durability
  
• it is extremely versatile
  
• they are used on circuits that tend towards high speeds, temperatures and energy loadings
  
• high working range compound

Intermediate

• Colour: Green
  
• they are the most versatile of the rain tyres
  
• dispersing approximately 25 litres of water per second at full speed
  
• can be used on a wet as well as a drying track

Wet

• Colour: Blue
  
• disperse up to 65 litres of water per second at full speed
  
• the most effective solution for heavy rain
  
• it is also effective on a drying track
  
• driveable in a wide variety of conditions
  
• was extremely valuable in determining the latest evolutions

Ending

I hope, that I could explain to you, what purpose and what properties the particular tyre compounds have. If you have suggestions for improvement to this guide or questions about the tyre compounds, please leave them in the comments. Of course, I am also happy about a thumb up and possibly a star.

not really helpful. This 'guide' is how it should be. But it isn't. The hard tyre is way too slow. The AI rarely uses it. In my now 3 seasons I have seen a hard tyre once and only on an early unscheduled stop, 5 Laps later the AI decided it would be better to change again. And yes I race full races. It is almost always faster to do 2 or even 3 stops with one medium and the rest soft than use the hard. Even in online the hard tyre is very rare because it is just too slow.
The wet Tyre is definetly not good in a variety of conditions. It overheats way too fast and it gets extremely slidey. I have found that in most circumstances it is better to change later to wets and earlier to drys.
