"We have been advised that there should a couple of days in Abu Dhabi after the season to look at the new supersoft [tyre]. And two days at Paul Ricard in January for wet testing," Paul Hembery, Pirelli's motorsport director, told reporters.

"That's the current situation and only at Strategy Group level, that has to be ratified very quickly of course to enable that to happen."
