Tuesday's Abu Dhabi test will be crucial for both the F1 teams and Pirelli, debuting the definitive 2023 tyres
The session will also be the first proper test of a new hard compound that falls between the current C1 and C2.
The teams took part in 2023 tyre testing in FP2 in both Austin and Mexico City. However, those sessions were 'blind'0, and while some drivers ran the same tyres that will be used in Abu Dhabi, others used experimental versions that didn't make the final cut. "So we will bring just one set of the hardest range, C1 and C2, and some sets of C3, C4 and C5, obviously, because they are more suitable for this circuit.
Berra confirmed that there will be an extra sixth compound choice in 2023, with the current C1 becoming the C0, and a new C1 introduced to fill a perceived gap between the current C1 and C2."We have a new version of the C1. So the C1 is no more the current C1, it's a new one that should provide more grip compared to the old one, that was less grippy. We received feedback that the grip was lacking a little bit on the C1.
