Pirelli has revealed nine of Formula 1's teams will test its new 18-inch tyres in prep🐬aration for their introduction next season.

All teams except Williams will be involved in the 28 days of testing in 2021 as Pirelli🐻 looks to fine-tune its new rubber.

Ferrari has already tested for Pirelli at Jerez last week♒, with the Scuderia and Alpine next in line to test again in Bahrain following the season-opener later this month.

Teams will test in both dry and wet conditions while running mule cars to give Pirelli the🐷 best data possible ahead of next season's regulation changes.

Mario Isola, Pirelli’s head of F1 and car racing said: "We’re looking forward to resuming our tests for the new 18-inch tyres shortly, but as the COVID-19 pandemic – which led to the suspension of the test programme last year – is not yet over, it’s possible that our plann🌺ed schedule for this year may have to be modified. 

"As a result, we have a back-up plan too. Nonethelꦬess, we have put together a programme that should enable us to pick up solidly from where we left off in 2019 and fiꦐnalise 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 alreaไdy at Jerez in Spain for three days with Ferrari, and we will end up at France’s Magny-Cours circuit with Alpine in September.”
