Ferrari has concluded a two-day trial at the Mugello circuit, where they tested the 2025-specification tires that Pirelli plans to introduce into Formula 1 for the upcoming season. Pirelli has conducted tests with different teams at various locations, including Barcelona, Jerez, Suzuka, and Paul Ricard, in order to gather crucial data on the new rubber they intend to use in 2025. Mugello was chosen as the latest venue for testing due to its combination of medium to high-speed corners, which provides an ideal environment for evaluation. Charles Leclerc completed 120 laps on the track, which hosted the inaugural Tuscan Grand Prix in 2020, using a Hard compound tire that was specifically designed to prevent overheating. However, a brief rain shower in the afternoon disrupted the run program, leading Ferrari and Pirelli to switch to using the Intermediate tire. Carlos Sainz had a smoother experience behind the wheel of Ferrari’s SF-24 car, completing 135 laps and bringing an end to Ferrari’s second testing session with Pirelli.
