Pirelli have released the number of tyres used by each driver of the course of the 2012 season. The numbers surprisingly vary between the individual drivers, some of the factors that could influence the usage would include the amount of races the drivers finish and how far the drivers progress through the qualifying sessions. For instance the deficit in tyres used from Jean-Eric Vergne to Ricciardo would be due to how many times Vergne was eliminated from qualifying during Q1. It is also interesting to note the difference in usage between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, this can assumingly come down to the amount of Practice running time, with Sebastian opting to do far less setup work.
