Yesterday, the Pirelli tire tests for the 2026 season concluded at the Spanish circuit of Jerez.
Pirelli continues to study and refine the tires for the upcoming season. Yesterday, the tests wrapped up with three teams alternating on the Jerez track to test the new tires. Alpine, McLaren, and Mercedes ran on the Iberian circuit, collecting satisfactory data on the performance of the tires that will equip the new cars for 2026.
Mario Isola, Pirelli’s Motorsport Director, expressed satisfaction with the following words: “We’ve completed another very useful test in this first part of 2025, thanks to the valuable collaboration of the three teams involved. After the data collected at Paul Ricard and Montmelo, we can say that we have a wide range of essential information. Jerez, although no longer part of the World Championship calendar for years, remains an interesting testing ground, especially due to the favorable weather conditions at this time of year. Now we have one more test session before the start of the season, which will mark the conclusion of this first crucial phase of development.”
The final test to evaluate the new tires for the 2026 season will take place on March 2nd and 3rd in Bahrain, where Alpine and Williams will take to the track, with the British team currently revealing its new livery for the 2025 season.
