Pirelli assessed the results predicted by draw predictions of tests of a new tire lineup for F1. At the tests in Abu Dhabi, the teams tested new Pirelli tire compounds, which the Italian company developed for the 2025 season.
According to the head of the Pirelli motorsport division, Mario Isola, the main attention was paid to testing the C6 type tires - the softest in lineup in the Pirelli line.
On the cars of some teams, tires of the C6 type worked well, for some these tires worked not much better than C5, for others there was no difference at all.
According to the drivers, the C6 tires worked very well in the first half of the lap, but already in the third sector, where the car needs very good grip on the track, wear on these tires showed up already on the first lap. If these reviews are confirmed after we analyze all the data, we will need to think carefully about which Grand Prix to use this type of tire.
The original idea was to develop a kit that was as soft as possible for the stages in Monaco, Montreal, Singapore and Las Vegas. But first, we will need to carefully study the data, see how C5 tires performed this year, and then make a decision on tire lineups for the 2025 season, " said Izola.
