Ferrari complete 2023 tyre testing at Mugello

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were present as Ferrari conducted their final Pirelli 2023 tyre test at Mugello.

It is the second batch of tests for next season with the Ferrari boys Leclerc and Sainz last taking to the track back in April.

According to Motorsport.com, the drivers tested many things but primarily the 18″ tyres which will have a rounder profile than the 2022 edition next year. Mario Isola’s engineering team also increased downforce as teams better understand the effects of porpoising and how to combat it.

The FIA set strict rules when it comes to these tests and teams are required to use a car that has featured in a race this season but it must use the same set-up throughout the whole day of testing.

Ferrari themselves got into trouble back in April when some alleged they had used parts which did not fit the regulations but the FIA chose not to punish them.

The drivers themselves are kept unaware of what setup they are running and the data gathered by Pirelli will then be shared with the rest of the teams.

The test will, though, have put both drivers in good practice for the upcoming British Grand Prix with the Mugello circuit’s fast corners being more reminiscent of Silverstone’s than Montreal’s are.
