Pirelli will continue to supply tyres for F1 until 2027 after signing a new contract.
The Italian tyre manufacturer, which has been F1’s tyre supplier since 2011, successfully fended off a challenge from Bridgestone.
The tender contract covers the 2025 to 2027 seasons with an option for 2028 and includes supply of the F1-supporting Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships.
Despite Bridgestone reportedly making a significant commercial offer in a bid to return as the sport’s tyre supplier, F1 chairman and CEO Stefano Domenicali decided that Pirelli’s pitch was more convincing.
The new deal was announced days after the FIA had to implement emergency measures at the Qatar Grand Prix amid tyre safety concerns, resulting in a mandatory three-stop race.
