Red Bull racers to split wet Pirelli test

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat will split the driving duties at this month's wet-weather Formula 1 tire test for Pirelli at the Paul Ricard circuit.

Thursday, January 14, 2016 (7:38 am)

Ricciardo will drive the car on Jan. 25, with Kvyat taking over the following day.

McLaren will field reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne on both days with Ferrari, the third and final team taking part, yet to confirm its lineup.

The test will be focused on providing Pirelli with an opportunity to gain valuable data on its wet rubber, in particular the full-wet compound.

Pirelli will control the testing program, with teams prevented from running their 2016-spec cars.
