Formula 1 has selected Pirelli as the exclusive tyre supplier to the World Championship and Global Tyre Partner until 2027, with an option to extend for an additional year.
The Italian manufacturer took on the role of sole supplier in 2011 and will have been in F1 for 18 seasons at the end of the latest agreement (including a possible extension).
Throughout that time, they have responded to a series of sporting and technical changes, including the request to deliver 13-inch high degradation tyres for 2011, wider tyres in 2017 and the introduction of the current 18-inch rubber for 2022.
Formula 1 said in a statement: “Throughout this time Pirelli has always engaged positively with drivers, teams, the FIA and Formula 1 to deliver tyres to enable excellent racing, analysing data and gathering feedback to continuously improve the product year-on-year.”
