Pirelli has once again chosen the Circuit Paul Ricard, on January 29 and 30, 2025, to test its 2026 rain and intermediate tires alongside the McLaren F1 Team. The 840km test was conducted on the wet track using the Circuit Paul Ricard's sprinkler system, recreating real-world conditions for optimum evaluation of the various prototypes.

The two Formula 1 drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, each completed 120 and 123 laps of the wet track in their McLaren F1 cars.
