Pirelli had been negotiating with Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari to be able to use one of their mule cars to do the testing. They have also confirmed that they will look to use mule cars of the other two mentioned teams to conduct tests in the future.
Pirelli want to improve the warming up procedure of wet tyres for 2017 as in the case of a safety car start, the cars will take their places on the grid after the safety car peels off.
