The two teams have each chosen ten sets of the super-soft tyres, which is the softest rubber available for the race at the Interlagos track.

Hm, interesting that apart from Red Bull, no other team – particularly Williams and Renault – has bothered to go with a staggered allocation of a +1/-1 supersoft vs. soft for one driver.
What are the expected tyre strategies? I don’t recall what was the recommended (dry) one for last year, given all the rain.
