Following the British Grand Prix, Pirelli and Haas stayed at Silverstone to perform an in-season tyre test. The programme ran over two days, from Tuesday to Wednesday.
This test followed a series of runs Pirelli has conducted so far this year with Barcelona, Jerez de la Frontera, Suzuka, Paul Ricard and Mugello having staged in-season tyre development testing.
Completing the sixth on-track tyre development work of 2025, the aim of the latest in-season test was to assess the changes Pirelli aims to make to the constructions and compounds for their 2025 F1 tyres.
The first day of testing saw development driver Pietro Fittipaldi get behind the wheel of the VF-24. The Brazilian's day was heavily interrupted by rain showers. Although he could carry out a series of runs, his outing was restricted to Pirelli's intermediate and wet-weather tyres.
Today's outing belonged to Ferrari and Haas reserve driver Oliver Bearman who hit the track at Silverstone. The British driver completed a total of 92 laps today, but the plan was to rack up even more mileage.
However, rain hit the track in the morning, but weather conditions improved for the second half of the day.
Speaking of his day with Haas, Bearman noted: "I’ve just finished my Pirelli test at Silverstone. A lot of laps completed. A bit less (than) in the plan. But it was wet this morning, so we didn’t get as many as we wanted, but 92 laps to finish the day.
“(We were) trying out a load of different tyre compounds and constructions for next year, so it was a really positive day. I leant a lot, you know, feeling really prepared now for next year. It was great to get back to Silverstone, one of my favourite tracks.
“The wind was pretty high today, which made it quite difficult, but I loved every lap. I learnt a lot. Next time, I’m out in the car is in Budapest,” concluded Bearman.
