Pirelli rules out C6 tire for Vegas and Singapore

Pirelli has shared its tire choices for the rest of the 2025 F1 season, and the softest tire, the C6, will only be used once more in Baku.

They also plan to skip a tire compound in Austin and Mexico to create more strategy changes and possibly more exciting races.
