Ferrari is conducting a two-day test at Paul Ricard next week as Pirelli bids to improve its wet-weather Formula 1 tyres for 2025.
The two-day test will consist of a day of dry running with 2025 prototype slick compounds, before the track is made wet for day two when the Italian tyre manufacturer tries out a new extreme wet compound. The wet track running is key because wet tyre tests are harder to organise, with Pirelli having to book in days at Paul Ricard or Fiorano where the track can be made wet artificially using sprinkler systems.
