Pirelli has planned ten development test sessions for 2021, for a total of 28 days, with nine Formula 1 teams ahead of the 2022 season which will introduce new technical regulations including the switch to 18-inch tires. The development program had already started in 2019 (in view of the transition that was initially supposed to take place in 2021) but was then suspended in 2020 due to the coronavirus.
