Ferrari on track ‘on behalf’ of Pirelli
It ended this afternoon at the Mugello circuit fifth test session of 2024 for Pirellifocusing once again on the development of new solutions for compounds and constructions to be used next year. Just like two weeks ago in Le Castellet, also for this two-day test the Global Tire Supplier of Formula 1 made use of the collaboration of Scuderia Ferrari.
On the circuit owned by the Maranello company Carlos Sainz took to the track today. The Spanish driver completed 135 laps at the wheel of his SF-24, equal to 707 kilometersworking on the comparison of different prototypes prepared with the main objective of reducing the phenomenon of tire overheating.
The words of Mario Isola
“First of all, I want to thank Scuderia Ferrari once again for their collaboration in this test – commented Mario Isola, Director of Pirelli Motorsport – we are in a very intense phase of the season and having supported us again with the presence of the two starting drivers represents an important commitment. For us they were two very profitable days on a beautiful track like Mugello, a very testing ground for the tyres, given its configuration full of fast and long corners: the ideal scenario for experimenting with harder compound solutions”.
“The data collected in these 1337 kilometers traveled here in two days they are very interesting and will allow us to begin to narrow down the field of the most effective solutions – continued the Pirelli boss – so that we can finalize the choices over the next few months. Now our testing program will return to take advantage of the opportunity to ride on the tracks used in Grand Prix in the days following the events: in fact, we will test at Silverstone immediately after the British Grand Prix and then at Spa after the Belgian Grand Prix”.
