Pirelli's Malaysia tyre choice: A nine-year track, a strategic gamble
Drivers will use the C2, C3 and C4 rubber during October's event at the Sepang circuit, which hasn't hosted a race since 2017. The track surface is rough and hasn't been re-laid in nine years, but the supplier avoided its most durable options to encourage varied pit strategies. Max Verstappen took victory on this exact tyre selection when the sport last visited Kuala Lumpur.
