Pirelli delivers its first verdict of the new 2025 Formula 1 tyres tested in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday
Pirelli remains unsure about exactly where its new softest C6 compound will now race, after it proved to only be good for 'part of a lap' in Abu Dhabi’s tyre test on Tuesday. F1’s official tyre supplier is introducing an extra soft compound into its range for specific street circuits in 2025, which it hopes will offer better performance and open up strategy options. The initial idea was for it to be considered for the Monaco, Canadian, Singapore and Las Vegas Grands Prix.
