Pirelli will bring a special tyre to the second week of testing designed for Zandvoort’s banked corners which it wants teams to try out.

The Dutch Grand Prix will return to the Formula 1 calendar this year and it will be held at a reprofiled Zandvoort circuit – a track which now features two banked corners.

And to make sure their tyres can cope with the demand of these corners, they plan to bring a prototype front tyre to the second week of pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya which they hope teams will trial.

Teams will use the C2 compound in Barcelona, and if it’s approved, it will be used across all three race weekend compounds.
