Bridgestone said on Tuesday that it will take soft and medium compounds for the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, the super soft and soft compounds in Hungary and the medium and hard compounds in Turkey.

"Now we have experienced all four Bridgestone Potenza compounds in race conditions we can announce the compounds we will use for a further three races in the calendar," said Kees van de Grint, Bridgestone's Head of Track Engineering Operations.

"These compounds have been chosen using the data collected at the races so far, added with our predictions and our past experience of the circuits.

"Of particular note will be the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. The change of date to July should mean hotter weather and our tyre choice of the soft and medium Potenzas reflects this."
