The new range of Pirelli tyres for the 2026 Formula 1 season was revealed this morning at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi, where the Italian firm is currently hosting a group test with all the teams.

The design of the tyre graphics on the sidewalls is completely new. The emblematic markings that have been part of Pirelli’s identity for the past 14 seasons since it returned as exclusive Formula 1 tyre supplier in 2011 have now been reworked to incorporate a chequered flag logo.This gives the new Formula 1 tyres a completely different look compared to any other motorsport or roadgoing product made by Pirelli, while maintaining all the historic design language that is synonymous with the Milan-based company.The colours that identify the level of each compound during every grand prix are unchanged for next year. White, yellow, and red denote Hard, Medium, and Soft respectively, while green and blue are still the colours for the Intermediate and Full wet.
