Update: 2025-12-08
Description
2025 Formula One season may be over, but the Abu Dhabi tracks are still abuzz with activity as teams test Pirellis new tires for the 2026 season. These tires are designed for cars with less downforce, a significant change due to new technical rules. Pirelli faced challenges in creating a durable tire due to varying team predictions of their 2026 car performance. To account for this, they developed a range of tire compounds. Mule cars, modified 2025 models, are used for testing, with specific methods set up to gather useful feedback. Meanwhile, rookie drivers are testing on ten other cars, helping Pirelli choose compounds for next years races.
