F1 tyre degradation: how long each compound lasts

How lap time worsens as each compound ages in an F1 Grand Prix, with real race data.

What it shows

How lap times change with tyre age, split by compound, across the laps of the race.

How to read it

A line that climbs steeply means the compound wears quickly; a flat line means it lasts. Where two compound lines cross you can tell roughly when the softer tyre stops paying off.

What to look for

Compounds that degrade much more or much less than expected at this circuit, and teams whose car looks after its tyres better than average.

Data and limits

Traffic, fuel and neutralisations also move lap times, so the slope is an estimate, not a direct measure of wear. With few laps on a compound the line is unreliable. Lap times and telemetry come from the official F1 feed through FastF1 (with TracingInsights as a fallback); results come from Jolpica.

Data is updated when each session ends.
