Pirelli has revealed which tire sets the teams have chosen in the first pre-season test to be held in Barcelona from 26-30 January.
All teams will be able to use hard (C1), medium (C2), soft (C3), medium and rain tires. In the early days of testing, each team received a different number of kits to create their own plan.
Red Bull relied on soft tyres; They bought 18 sets plus one medium and one not even hard tires. Ferrari, which tested the SF-26 last week, chose the most intermediate ones – a set of 12. Mercedes took the hardest ones – 8 sets, and McLaren – 6 soft, 10 medium and 4 hard.
We would like to remind you that Williams Racing will not participate in testing in Barcelona.
