Pirelli have revealed the tyre sets that each driver has at their disposal for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. Given the team's earlier choices, some do not have the medium tyre, forcing them to pick a hard-soft strategy for the race.

With the weather forecast edging ever more to a sunny, dry race, with up to 20°C ambient, it will be interesting to see how the teams' choices will play out. The hard tyre usually lasts longer, but only operates with higher working temperatures, which might not be attained at 20°C ambient.
