In terms of tyres, at the front, the 2024 Soft is the same, while last year’s Hard is the 2025 Medium. A new reinforced Hard front, also seen at the other Asian circuits, has been added for 2025.
At the rear, the 2024 Soft is the same, while the Medium now also has a standard carcass (instead of a reinforced construction).
Soft front and Medium rear were the dominant tyre choices for both of last year’s races.
