However, the top ten drivers must start the race on the set of tyres they used for qualifying.

Berger won this race due to not having to make a pit stop for a fresh set of tyres.

A set of old tyres leaned against a rotting wooden shed.

Despite the rain getting heavier he opted for a new set of intermediate tyres.

But it'll cost something in the region of a hundred pounds to replace a set of tyres.

The end result was that several teams had to use up a set of soft tyres to guarantee a place in the second period.

Each driver is limited to 14 sets of tyres per race weekend.

Under new regulations, a driver had to use one set of tyres during qualifying and the race itself.

Any cars that qualified outside the top ten may start the race on any remaining set of tyres.

In addition, each driver had to surrender one set of wet tyres to avoid gaining any advantage.
