d) A Competitor wishing to replace one unused tyre by another identical unused one must present both tyres to the Technical Delegate.

e) The use of tyres without appropriate identification may result in a race grid position penalty or disqualification from the sprint session or the race as appropriate.

30.4 Return of Tyres

a) The official return of tyres will be made electronically using the FIA Race Team Client. In the event of an issue with the system, and when instructed to do so by the FIA, each Competitor will be requested to provide the tyre return data in a CSV file format via email.

b) Any set of electronically returned tyres must also be physically returned to the appointed tyre supplier before the start of the following session.

30.5 Use of Tyres

a) All tyres must be operated in accordance with the prescriptions issued prior to each Event by the FIA and the appointed tyre supplier, including any additional or modified procedures set out in the Appendix to these Sporting Regulations or as communicated directly by the FIA and the appointed tyre supplier.

b) The only sets of tyres which may be used during an Event are those which are defined in Article 30.2a)i) and Article 30.2a)ii).

Any driver who uses a set of tyres of differing specifications or tyres not allocated to him during the sprint session or the race may not cross the Line on the track more than twice before returning to the pits and changing them for a set of tyres of the same specification. A penalty under Article 54.3d) will be imposed on any driver who does not change tyres as specified above. For the avoidance of doubt, a set of tyres of differing specifications will not be considered when assessing the number of specifications used during the race.

c) Tyres will only be deemed to have been used once the car’s timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane.

d) If an additional driver is used (see Articles 32.4, 32.5, 32.6 and 32.7) he must use the tyres allocated to the nominated driver he replaced.

e) If an additional specification of dry-weather tyre is made available in accordance with Article 30.1a)ii) two (2) sets of these tyres will be allocated to each driver for use during P1 and P2. Any such tyres must be electronically returned no later than two (2) hours after the end of P2.

f) At each Event where a sprint session is scheduled, if either P1 or the qualifying practice session are declared wet, one (1) additional set of intermediate tyres will be made available to any driver who used a set of intermediate tyres during either session. Under such circumstances, one (1) used set of intermediate tyres must be electronically returned before the start of the sprint session.

If neither P1 nor the qualifying practice session are declared wet, but the likelihood of P2 being declared wet is deemed by the FIA to be high, one (1) additional set of intermediate tyres will be made available to all drivers. Under such circumstances, one (1) set of intermediate tyres must be electronically returned before the start of the sprint session.

If intermediate or wet weather tyres are used during the sprint session, one (1) additional set of intermediate tyres will be made available to all drivers.

c) Tyres may be used on a test rig providing forces control and monitoring by Formula One rim manufacturers for the sole purpose of proof testing their products.
