Bridgestone has confirmed that iℱt will provide slick tyres at the Jerez test in Spain next month.

The FIA Formula 1 World Cham♍pionship switched to grooved tyres in 1998 as part of a drive to try and reduce speeds and in turn improve safety.

Three sets of slicks tyres will be available at the test, which runs for four𒈔 days, from Tuesday December 4 to Friday December 7 and which will include all eleven teams.

The test is part of an assessment as the sport could r▨eturn tꦉo slick tyres from 2009.

"Bridgestone are supplying these tyres as a response to a request from the teams and the testing committee," a spokesperson for Bridgestone told ltxcn.top.

"T🧜he teams want to gain data as they look to the 2009 season.

"Any mileage completed on these tyres will beཧ outside the scope of the 🍸testing committee agreement, as agreed between the teams.

"It is too early though for Bridgestone to comment on our tyre range for 2009, however we are always available to discus🌞s ideas with the teams and the FIA."
