F1 plans to run wet tyre test in the DESERT
When I think of rain in F1, I imagine the spray flying as a Ferrari speeds through Eau Rouge or rivers forming at Interlagos. Pirelli’s planning a wet tire test for the 2026 season, which they’re doing in Bahrain, a place known for dry weather during testing. Teams in Bahrain rarely bring wet tires, but now there’s a plan to create wet conditions for the test. Mario Isola from Pirelli mentioned that Bahrain is willing to accommodate their unique requests for the test. The goal is to make extreme wet tires more usable for better wet weather racing in 2026.
