Pirelli have once again spoken out about their eagerness to hold a pre-season test in a warm climate, with Bahrain being that preferred choice.
Pirelli Director of Motorsport Paul Hembery has being speaking on the issue and the recent test that was held last week..
“Obviously the weather hindered progress to some extent, as is not entirely unexpected at this time of year in Europe,” said Hembery
“The same can apply to the early part of next year, which is why we are in favour of some guaranteed warm-weather testing in 2017, before the season gets underway.”
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken out about his discomfort at testing at Bahrain which would provide the warm weather test that Hembery desires. However Hembery has thought up another solution which he proposes to put forward to the teams.
“For the first four races, Melbourne can be pretty chilly, China’s certainly pretty cool, Bahrain’s a night race and Russia can also be on the cooler side,” he said..
“So maybe a more sensible solution would be to stay in Bahrain after the race [in April] and rather than do the test in Barcelona mid-season, do it in Bahrain when everybody’s kit and personnel is at that circuit.”
