Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc tested Pirelli's three softest prototype compounds for 2027 at Imola in Ferrari's SF-26. Hamilton completed 64 laps in the morning, with Leclerc adding 63 in the afternoon through short performance runs and longer stints.

Imola is also an option for the 2026 season finale if the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races cannot proceed. Stefano Domenicali has said several European venues are under consideration and no replacement has been selected.
