Ferrari has completed a two-day test at the Mugello circuit sampling the 2025-specification tyres that Pirelli intends to introduce into Formula 1 for the next campaign.
Pirelli has held tests with various teams across Barcelona and Jerez in Spain to Suzuka and Paul Ricard as it gathers critical data on the rubber it aims to use in 2025.
Mugello was selected as the latest venue the Italian manufacturer chose to visit as its combination of medium to high-speed corners provides an ideal testing ground.
Charles Leclerc circulated 120 times around the track which hosted the inaugural Tuscan Grand Prix in 2020, using a Hard compound designed to reduce overheating.
However, a minor rain shower in the afternoon meant that the run programme was disrupted and Ferrari and Pirelli’s attention switched over to using the Intermediate.
Carlos Sainz sustained a more seamless time behind the wheel of Ferrari’s SF-24 car, though, as he recorded 135 laps to bring an end to Ferrari’s second Pirelli outing.
