The "T" in the tire column in F1 stands for "test". However, this is not related to the type of tire used in the race. F1 tires are supplied by Pirelli, and every race has soft, medium, and hard tire compounds, each with its benefits and trade-offs. The soft tire provides the most grip but isnt durable, while the hard tire will last the longest but isnt as grippy, and the medium tire offers the best of both without excelling at either. The F1 rules state that every driver must use at least two tire compounds during a race, adding a strategic element to the order of tire choices and how many pit stops a team might want their drivers to make.
