It will focus, as we know, on aerodynamics, supposed to enable single-seaters to follow each other without being afraid of losing downforce.<\/p>\n<p>This aero revolution will be accompanied by a brand new set of wheels supplied by Pirelli. The exclusive supplier of F1 has been working on this project for several seasons now and has planned a busy schedule this season to test its new tires with the new rims with several teams. Earlier this week, preparations were taking place with Mercedes at the Imola circuit.<\/p>\n<p>After Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s 130 laps on Tuesday, it was Valtteri Bottas who completed 106 laps with the future tires on Wednesday. These tests were carried out with the W10 from the 2019 season.<\/p>\n<p>The staff of Pirelli and Mercedes were able to enjoy sunny weather, contrasting with the rainy race on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The next tests scheduled by Pirelli will take place on May 11th and 12th at the Barcelona circuit with Red Bull, Alpine, and Alfa Romeo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-sm shadow-3d\" src=\"\/images\/photo\/article\/f12021\/bottas-18-pouces-imola.jpg\" alt=\"Bottas in the pits on 18-inch tires\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-sm shadow-3d\" src=\"\/images\/photo\/article\/f12021\/bottas-imola-18-pouces.jpg\" alt=\"Bottas in pit lane\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-sm shadow-3d\" src=\"\/images\/photo\/article\/f12021\/imola-bottas-18-pouces.jpg\" alt=\"18-inch pit exit\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finnish driver tried out the new tire format, due to come into force in 2022.
