Pirelli set to be announced as the new supplier of F1 tyres




Pirelli will shortly be announced as the new supplier of rubber to the F1 teams, it is reported this evening. The Italian company have long been linked to the sport after incumbent supplier Bridgestone announced their withdrawal, effective from the end of the current season.

Quote from the article:
The only sticking point was thought to be the company’s desire to see the sport switch to 18-inch wheel rims, which would bring the F1 tyre technology theoretically closer to road-going rubber.
