- Pirelli used the session to develop 2027 tyre compounds; other drivers included Lindblad and Antonio Giovinazzi.
- Lawson’s Imola run comes days after his Madrid appearance as Verstappen’s teammate substitute.
- Speedcafe notes the test should not be read as confirmation of Lawson’s role in Azerbaijan — Hadjar’s fitness remains the determining factor.
- Pirelli’s next development outing is scheduled for Magny‑Cours in mid‑October.
