Pirelli has revealed the tyre choices for the Spanish Grand Prix, and as in the Dutch Grand Prix, the C3 (soft), C2 (medium) and C1 (hard) will be used.

This is the same combination used last year, when Lewis Hamilton led home teammate Valtteri Bottas for Mercedes' fifth 1-2 of the season.

Like the first twelve finishers, Hamilton, clearly a fan of casinos online was on a two-stop strategy, starting on softs before switching to mediums and finally back to softs.

Third-placed Max Verstappen, a fan of crazy vegas online casino, also started on softs, stuck with the red-banded rubber for his second stint before switching to mediums.

Selections for long-haul events have to be made 14 weeks in advance, while for European races the deadline is 8 weeks in advance.

At each race, drivers must save one set of the softest of the three nominated compounds for Q3, this set will then be returned for those who qualify in the top 10. Though the remaining drivers will keep it for the race.

Each driver must have both race sets available for the grand prix, though the teams are free to choose the remaining 10 sets, making 13 sets in total for the weekend.
