And sometimes they bring immediate for safety or some specific track issue.
Those immediate tires must be used only in really quick pit stops.

Maybe they are spray-ons?
Or later...
ah Now i get it. hehe When i read this first time I didnt know what you meant, until Burning comented... I'm sure that I heard Martin Brundle say on the commentary that Bridgestone need to bring tyres that must be at least two compounds apart, but as always I could be wrong or maybe Martin is even wrong and I heard correctly. But to be honest if there is super soft and soft compounds; that kinda negates the point of the refuelling ban as teams will need to pit 2 to 3 times for tyres, I already found it stupid that there is no refuelling yet teams have to change tyres; so a team can't drive the whole race without stopping!
How do we stay awake for the full race distance?
I think give Valencia a chance. The first race there was boring as hell. The track looks boring since it is basically a giant concrete slab. Not exactly exciting or challenging to drive either. But last years race was absoluety fantastic. Who knows, this years race could be as good.
Personally I'm gonna bet on a Ferrari win this weekend. The car looked better in Montreal, and coming to similar track, with the same tyre's on offer, and massive updates should put them far enough ahead. They really need a win right now to stay in the championship.
Redbull are running an Fduct here, dont count them out.
McLaren sees Ferrari threat, less worried about Red Bull

McLaren is not concerned about Red Bull's F-duct upgrade for the European Grand Prix but will be keeping a close eye on Ferrari's new low-slung exhaust configuration.
McLaren pioneered the use of an F-duct to increase a car's straight-line speed, and has maintained an advantage over its competitors despite a number of copy-cat designs. Meanwhile, Red Bull has been harbouring an advantage since the start of the season by using hot gasses from low-mounted exhausts to get the most out of its diffuser.
Red Bull is now set to bring its latest version of the F-duct to Valencia in the hope of restoring its supremacy at the front of the field, after missing out on pole to McLaren for the first time this year in Canada. But McLaren engineering director Paddy Lowe said his team is not overly concerned.
"We'll see what they do," Lowe told the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Phone-In. "They brought it to Turkey and ran it on the Friday, but then bailed out of it for the rest of the weekend. This is their second attempt and it's a system that is not without challenges to get it to work in a way where you're net positive on performance. But I don't know how well they are going to do or not do. It's not a huge concern for us; we expected teams to be playing catch up with us, just as we're emulating the [Red Bull] exhaust. So when Red Bull gets it [the F-duct] to work we are ready to face that."
However, Lowe admitted that McLaren will be keeping an eye on Ferrari in Valencia, as it is bringing a major improvement that will include a new Red Bull-style exhaust system. It has been predicted that the updates could cut the F10's lap times by as much as 0.5 seconds, meaning it would have qualified ahead of McLaren and Red Bull in Montreal.
"That is a concern, but we will have to see how they get on with it," Lowe said. "Mathematically that makes sense [that Ferrari will be ahead], but it all depends on each circuit's characteristics and how it suits some cars and doesn't suit others. We saw that Ferrari really struggled in Turkey so I can't predict, as an overall package, where they will end up or where we will end up."
Lowe confirmed that McLaren will run a similar exhaust layout in time for the British Grand Prix.
"I think it is common knowledge that all the rest of the teams are playing catch-up [to Red Bull] in that area. So that's something we're aiming to bring to the British Grand Prix, to try and make it work from the outset. There are some technical challenges with it, for example blasting your bodywork directly with exhaust flow can generate some reasonably high temperatures. It's certainly not without its challenges to try to hit the ground running with a system like that when we don't have any proper track testing to do. We'll be doing trials at an aerodynamics day [a straight-line test] before Silverstone and then we will have it working in the practice sessions and race it on the Sunday."
