The first tests took place last week at Jerez in Spain, whereFerrariduo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainzcompleted three days of runningin a specially-adapted ‘mule’ car.

Between them, they completed 320 laps of the circuit near Cadiz on slicks, intermediates and wets, with the track doused with water by tank trucks as required.

However, Pirelli have stressed the schedule is contingent upon restrictions caused by the health pandemic.

马里奥伊索拉,倍耐力的head of F1, said in a press release: “It’s possible our planned schedule for this year may have to be modified.

“As a result, we have a back-up plan too. Nonetheless, we have put together a programme that should enable us to pick up solidly from where we left off in 2019 and finalise the specification for a new generation of tyre under fresh regulations that will give Formula 1 a very different look next year.

“Many thanks to all the teams for their support in providing simulations and mule cars, giving us a good base to work from.

“We will be testing both our slick and wet prototype 18-inch tyres for 2022. We started already at Jerez in Spain for three days with Ferrari and will end up at France’s Magny-Cours circuit with Alpine in September.”
