Pirelli completes first test


Pirelli have had a successful first test which was in Valencia.
It was done to test the tyres on the track to get a feel of them and know how Pirelli tyres feel on the cars and the difference from Bridgestone to Pirelli.
“First and foremost, we’ve enjoyed perfect reliability over the three days, which has enabled the teams to get on with their test programmes at a crucial time of year as they launch their new cars,” Pirelli’s director Paul Hembery commented, “Naturally, they’ve all been running a very wide range of different configurations and set-ups here, so there’s no point looking too closely at the times.
“What’s more important is that the feedback we’ve received from the drivers and teams so far has been very positive, and it’s been a great pleasure to work with them all. It’s early days, but we believe that the teams have started to see now that our tyres are quite different to what they had before. In line with our brief, it’s no longer going to be possible to run virtually an entire race on one set of tyres, so I think everyone will appreciate how our PZeros can help to provide even more exciting races in the future.”
