Pirelli's wet tire test - Day 1

Pirelli organized a wet tire test at Paul Ricard circuit in France, on January 25 and 26. The two-day test will be focussing just on wet tires (no intermediates). Different wet prototypes will be tested.

Three teams are taking part in the test: Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren, all three teams are using their 2015-specification cars, with no modifications allowed. These are the best times for Day 1:

Pos. Driver Team Time Laps
1  Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 1:08.713 99
2  Stoffel Vandoorne McLaren 1:09.131 87
3  Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 1:09.637 99
It was like a normal day of testing, I think it’s too early to say much about these prototype tires, but it was a very useful session, because everyone was running under the same conditions. It’s been a while since we’ve driven and, even if it was just one day, there’s always something you can learn from it.
