Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren have been confirmed as the three teams that will participate in Pirelli’s upcoming wet-weather tyre test, to be held at the Paul Ricard circuit in France on January 25 and 26.
The two-day session - the first track activity of 2016 - will focus exclusively on full-wet tyres (as opposed to intermediates), with several different prototypes being evaluated.
As per the regulations, none of the teams in attendance will be running with new cars, and Pirelli will dictate each squad's programme.
Stoffel Vandoorne will be behind the wheel of an MP4-30 on behalf of McLaren, with details of the other participating drivers set to be made available in the coming days.
