P1racenews AI automatic summary:
New variable tyre added to the Imola weekend as Pirelli brings C6 tyres.
Pirelli will introduce the new C6 tyre at the Imola Grand Prix this weekend, alongside the C4 and C5 compounds.
The C6 will be the soft tyre with red markings, while the C5 will be the medium tire and the C4 the hard compound.
Teams have little experience with the C6, which was introduced due to the low-abrasive nature of the Imola track.
The Bahrain pre-season test did not provide a clear picture of the C6’s performance and durability.
Pirelli anticipates teams will use the C6 for qualifying but not the race, focusing on data to determine its race-readiness for future events.
