Valtteri Bottas completes 127 laps for Pirelli tests in Bahrain
As part of the allocated testing days for Pirelli, Alfa Romeo covered tests for the Italian manufacturer following the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain.
This first Grand Prix weekend in Bahrain was an opportunity for teams to test the sixth tire compound in Pirelli’s range, the C0, increasing the number of compounds from five to six.
Following this first round, all the teams left except for Alfa Romeo, who stayed behind to carry out tests with their driver, Valtteri Bottas. By completing 127 laps, which is the distance of two Grand Prixs, the Finnish driver was able to provide numerous data that will be useful to Pirelli in the development of their tires for the 2024 season.
