Pirelli Test: Problems for Lawson, 167 laps for Bearman at Fiorano Luca Manacorda 04/09/2024
A double Pirelli test session took place today, spread between Monza and Fiorano, to work on the development of the 2025 F1 tyres. In Brianza, after Mercedes and Red Bull were busy yesterday, the Racing Bulls took to the track with Liam Lawson, already seen at the wheel of the RB20 yesterday. On the Ferrari track, it was Oliver Bearman who worked at the wheel of the SF-24.
Lawson, a day full of obstacles between rain and technical problems In Monza, the second day of Pirelli testing was scheduled to continue the work on slick tyres that began on Tuesday. However, it rained during the night at the Autodromo Nazionale and so the day began with damp asphalt and consequently intermediate tyres mounted on the Racing Bulls VCARB01. The track gradually dried out, allowing the switch to slicks, but work was interrupted in the early afternoon due to an engine problem on the car. The day ended with 76 laps completed and a best time for Lawson of 1:22.530.
Pirelli Lawson Test
Bearman, work in the wet despite the sun By a twist of fate, the Pirelli test program at Fiorano was focused on the development of new solutions for wet and intermediate tires. In this case, however, the sky was clear and the artificial irrigation system that the Ferrari circuit is equipped with wet the asphalt, as expected. After a few laps in the dry, Bearman then spent the day working in simulated rain conditions, completing 167 laps of the track, just under 3 km long.
Pirelli Fiorano Test
The Pirelli test calendar still includes numerous appointments for this year, with the work of the sole supplier of tyres for F1 that will be divided on two fronts: on the one hand, they will still work on the 2025, on the other, they will begin work on the first prototypes of the 2026 tyres, with sizes slightly smaller than the current ones. For the 2025 tyres, the next commitment is scheduled at Magny-Cours on 1-2 October with Mercedes on the track, while for the 2026 tyres β as we had already reported β the honour of the first test will go to Aston Martin, on the track in Barcelona on 17-18 September.
