Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel both took turns at Barcelona’s Montmelo circuit this week to trial Pirelli’s new 2017-spec Formula One tyre. And as you’ll soon discover, they’re quite big. Fat, even.

That’s because they’re a whopping 25 per cent bigger than this year’s compounds (the regs are changing in 2017) and are said to provide more grip. And more speed.

Kimi kicked off the test in a modified SF15-T (to accomodate for downforce), with Seb taking up the reigns on the final day. He managed 156 laps running on the medium tyres.

With the regulations set to change along with a change in ownership at the top, are you excited for next year’s Formula One season? Let us know below. Avoid the caps lock if possible…
