Charles Leclerc has concluded the opening day of 18-inch tyre testing for 2020, as he completed 130 laps for Pirelli at the Jerez Circuit.
18-inch tyres will be used in Formula 1 in 2021, following their introduction to Formula 2 this year.
All 10 teams will take part in the 2020 tests which will take place across eight circuits - six of which are featured on the 2020 calendar.
Ferrari is in action once again next time out, at its home Fiorano Circuit next month, following pre-season testing. It will be the first of three wet weather tests.

I mean, they look cool, but looks are the only thing going for them. That and maybe cooler brakes. Functionally these bigger rim tyres are a baffling decision.
