Pirelli has revealed it will supply an "experimental hard compound" tyre for Formula One teams to test during practice in Malaysia on Friday.
In March, we reported that Formula 1's new official supplier was working on a fifth tyre compound, unofficially referred to as 'extra hard', for possible use in 2011.
The reports said the compound is designed to cope with extreme corners such as Turkey's famous Turn 8. Pirelli tested at the Istanbul circuit with Pedro de la Rosa at the weekend.
The tyre supplier confirmed in a statement on Monday: "The new tyre is an experimental hard compound that could be used in the future".
"With testing not allowed during the season, this gives us a valuable opportunity to gather more data and feedback, while it also gives the teams an interesting taste of what could be coming in the future," said the Italian marque's motor sport director Paul Hembery.

Thanks! I'm trying to come up with a template that covers all basics (Track info, race info) then get's into the some technical details/updates and driver details/updates just as an Ice breaker. We usually carry on a great conversation regardless.
Glad I DVR'ed the race! Even if they do reply the race the add a lot of extra commercials in between.

more likely they'll be testing intermediates and full wets.
60% chance of thunder storms and high 80s to low 90s for all three days.it might be hamilton in the wet for the win.

cant wait! already ran a couple laps of this track on F1 2010 on xbox.
i think DRS will definitely have an impact this race with the two long straights.
