This year's Pirelli tyre test schedule will follow an almost identical format to last year, with all 10 teams signed up to run across the season.
Pirelli used an extensive test schedule during last season to work on its compounds for the 2018 campaign, which helped the Italian manufacturer add two new tyres -- the super-hard and hyper-soft -- to either end of its current range. That marked a change from the previous year, when only Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari ran mule cars to test the wider 2017 compounds ahead of their introduction.
Having used last year's expanded schedule to make necessary improvements to its current range, Pirelli racing chief Mario Isola is happy the teams have agreed to repeat in 2018.
