New Pirelli F1 deal to be announced next week
Pirelli has won the tender to be the official tyre supplier for Formula One for the 2025 to 2027 seasons, with an option for 2028. The deal was confirmed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council. Bridgestone, which had been out of F1 since 2010, also submitted a proposal, but Pirelli’s package ultimately convinced Formula 1 to stick with them. One of the challenges faced by Bridgestone was creating a tyre for the current cars to use in 2025, as well as a different product for the 2026 regulations. Pirelli has stated that this new contract period will be its last, and F1 will be looking for a new tyre partner for 2029 and beyond.
