Pirelli 2019 Pre-Season And In-Season F1 Test Tires

2019 Tire Colors

All five slick P Zero compounds will be seen in testing this year, but only three colors. To help distinguish them, the hardest and softest tires available won’t carry stripes on the sidewalls.

Mario Isola, Head of F1 and Car Racing – “Normally we will only see three colors at every race, so we’re only using three colors at the tests as well. But we want to make sure that people can tell the compounds apart. As a result, the very hardest and softest tires won’t be marked with stripes: only the colors will vary. This will be the case for the in-season tests as well."
