Different choices between the teams Winter testing will begin tomorrow in Barcelona with the teams having the track available from 09:00 to 17:00. The teams will be able to run three days out of five and will have numerous sets of tires available. Pirelli has communicated the choices of the teams and it is obvious, for example, that Red Bull has chosen 18 sets of soft tires and only one set of medium tires evidently so as not to have too many problems in bringing the tires up to temperature given that it will obviously be cold at the end of January. Ferrari, on the other hand, will only have three sets of soft tyres, four hard ones and 12 medium ones. The medium compound, however, was not selected by Mercedes which will have 8 sets of hard tires and 12 soft ones. McLaren opted for 4 sets of hard, 10 of medium and 6 of soft.
Barcelona test, the sets of tires chosen by the teams: Red Bull with 18 sets of softs out of 19
