testing on warn rain tires?
notice in some of the testing pics it looks like they're testing on slicks? except the tires have a faint rain groove patter in them that looks like it's completely warn away?

There's 2 types of rain tyres, for heavy rain and for light wet conditions. Those in your pics are for light rain, and they have been similar for years.

Taking into account that Ferrari alledgedly lost the WDC because of bad management of intermediates on a drying track (was it Hungary?), it sounds all reasonable that they are testing in those conditions.
