Overview
- Lewis Hamilton returned to Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit to complete a two-day Pirelli programme focused on wet-weather tyres.
- Hamilton logged 142 laps for 423 kilometres on the opening day and set a best time of 1:01.031, according to Pirelli.
- The runs covered full-wet tyres before moving to intermediate variants as Fiorano’s irrigation system kept the surface consistently wet in warm conditions.
- Ferrari ran its current SF-26, giving Pirelli controlled data on how the supplier’s latest wet designs behave through long stints and changing water levels.
- Further Pirelli tyre testing with Mercedes and McLaren is scheduled at the Nürburgring on April 14–15, and Crash reports Ferrari plans a Monza filming day to validate power unit work and parts aimed at Miami.
