Pirelli test dates for 2017

Pirelli has obtained the agreement of all teams to carry out development tests in preparation for the 2018 season over a total of 25 days.

If the manufacturer of the F1 only worked with the three top teams, Mercedes, Ferrari et Red Bull, it will be able to rely on all the teams which will have authorization to use the single-seaters of the 2017 season. The teams will not, however, know which tires they are running on.

No less than 8 circuits will be used for these test sessions, with in particular trips planned to Magny-Cours (Nièvre) and Paul-Ricard (Var) where F1 will return next year.
