Charles Leclerc has conducted a day of running at Mugello as part of a Pirelli tyre test for 2025.
Charles Leclerc completed the first day of a two-day Pirelli tyre test at Mugello, the Italian circuit owned by Ferrari which hosted a Grand Prix in 2020. Leclerc drove 630 kilometres, completing 120 laps after retiring from the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend. Pirelli, Ferrari, and Leclerc conducted comparative tests on different compounds for the tyre supplier’s 2025 constructions, focusing on data for the hard compound to reduce overheating. The fifth Pirelli tyre test of 2024 was affected by wet weather during the afternoon session, allowing the intermediate compound to be tested. Carlos Sainz will take over from Leclerc on Friday to continue testing, following his retirement at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve last weekend. The tests build on recent work at Circuit Paul Ricard using the remote-controlled wet surface system.
