The head of Formula One says Pirelli will be allowed to run two three-day tests in a bid to resolve the tire blow-outs that affected four drivers in the British Grand Prix.
Bernie Ecclestone says he has spoken to FIA president Jean Todt, who has agreed for the tire manufacturer to undertake unrestricted tests on a date yet to be arranged.
Ecclestone told Britain's Press Association that Todt said "'Let them test.'"
Ecclestone says "they can use what they like. No restrictions. None at all, so they can do what they want."
