Vettel, Raikkonen to test for Ferrari in Pirelli wet session

Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will both feature in Pirelli’s wet tyre test, which takes place at Paul Ricard on January 25-26.

Only three teams – Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull – are scheduled to test at the former French Grand Prix venue, despite Formula One’s official tyre supplier making the session available to all teams.

McLaren quickly confirmed it would run reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne, while Red Bul later announced that fully-fledged pilots Daniel Ricciardo and Danii Kvyat would share testing duties.

Ferrari had yet to reveal its own line-up but a tweet sent out from Pirelli’s official feed on Friday confirmed that the Scuderia's two world champions would be present in the south of France next week.

Paul Ricard allows the track to be artificially sprinkled to create wet conditions, with teams set to solely focus on the blue-marked full-wet compound.
