While the British Grand Prix may have past, not everyone has packed up and left. The teams of Haas and Williams are still at the legendary circuit as they will be testing tyres for Pirelli. The test will be carried out today and tomorrow.
Haas has chosen its test driver Antonio Giovinazzi to drive the car throughout the two days. Giovinazzi drove the car during the FP1 session last Friday. Joining the Italian around the track will be Lance Stroll, the 18-year-old rookie who claimed his first podium in Azerbaijan a couple of races ago.
Pirelli pushes for debate over two mandatory pit stops: a lifeline for dull races
The tyres being tested are prototypes for the 2018 season. With a threat of rain lingering around, the Italian tyre manufacturer has also brought some backup wet tyres in order to get some data even if the sky starts to spit rain.
Two days of 2018 tyre testing starts @SilverstoneUK now with @WilliamsRacing and @HaasF1Team. Drivers are @lance_stroll and @Anto_Giovinazzi

give those young guys the experience they need in those cars. Can´t wait to see Giovinazzi on track again, i think he´s performing quite well when he´s gained a little bit more of experience..

Another test for Stroll this time with the 2017 car. He is getting a lot of testing mileage.
Gio seems a good prospect for the HAAS team next year.
