Tire tests have begun at the Nürburgring.

      Pirelli has begun two-day testing of tire prototypes for the 2027 season at the Nürburgring in Germany. According to plans, today and tomorrow, the Italian tire manufacturer will be working with McLaren and Mercedes, with the main drivers of the teams expected to take the wheel. This request came from Pirelli engineers, as the main drivers have a better understanding of the characteristics of the new generation cars compared to test drivers and can provide comprehensive feedback. A comprehensive testing program is scheduled for today, and Oscar Piastri was the first to hit the track in the morning driving for McLaren. Later, George Russell joined him in the Mercedes.
