Final test to reveal true tyre picture

Pirelli says this week's Barcelona test is set to confirm that drivers will be making two or three pitstops per grand prix this season, as the teams conduct their most accurate race simulations yet at the Spanish track. All four Pirelli compounds have been available in the winter tests held so far, but for this week's Catalunya session only the hard and soft tyres will be in use, as these compounds have been chosen as the selection for the first three grands prix of the season, making this the most representative test so far according to Pirelli's motorsport boss Paul Hembery. "Having announced our compounds for the start of the year, most of the teams will concentrate on testing the hard and soft PZero tyres," Hembery said.
