Pirelli Test, Bearman on track for Ferrari
The post-Monza period offers a week of break for Formula 1, but not for all teams. Ferrari And RB they took to the track today with Oliver Bearman and Liam Lawson, at Fiorano and Monza respectively, for Pirelli tests aimed at developing the 2025 tyres.
Bearman has completed 167 laps driving an SF-24, working on the development of new solutions for wet and intermediate tyres thanks to the artificial irrigation system. The future Haas driver initially completed a few laps in the dry before focusing on the programme planned by Pirelli’s technicians. Lawson’s job is more complicatedwho found the track wet in Monza (this time from overnight rain) and at least initially ran on intermediates. The New Zealander, a serious candidate to replace one between Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez in 2025, was able to follow his development work program on slicks on dry asphalt, but was unable to complete it due to a technical problem on the RB that occurred in the early afternoon.
