    Pirelli keen to remain F1 tyre supplier as FIA opens 2025 tender

    Pirelli has voiced its wish to continue as the Formula 1 tyre supplier after the FIA launched a tender for 2025 and beyond.

    The Italian brand has solely produced F1 rubber since 2011, taking over from Bridgestone, and last year oversaw the introduction of 18-inch wheels as part of the new regulations.

    Looking forward, the next step is a push to ban the use of tyre blankets from 2024, with testing already underway despite strong pushback from drivers.

    However, a new tender issued by the FIA after the Saudi Arabian GP could either see Pirelli replaced or have competition in a new F1 tyre war.

    In response, the company said: “The FIA has now published the invitation to participate in the next tender process for the supply of tyres to the top single-seater championships – FIA Formula One World Championship, Formula 2 and Formula 3 – for the three-year period from 2025-2027 (with an option for 2028).

    “The document outlines technical characteristics that are broadly in line with the tyres used today and their relevance to technology transfer from track to road, putting a particular emphasis on sustainability.

    “The framework described by the FIA is closely aligned to Pirelli’s motorsport strategy and so is of great interest, with the Italian company having been Global Tyre Partner to the sport for more than a decade, since 2011.

    “A definitive decision about Pirelli’s participation in the selection process will naturally be taken after a detailed examination of the FIA’s document.”

    In that document, the FIA sets out the requirements for what any prospective tyre supplier would need to deliver to be considered.

    “The tender requires potential suppliers to supply an analysis of the environmental impact of the tyres used in Formula 1,” it says.

    “The successful bid will also need to demonstrate best practice and innovation when considering the complete life cycle of the tyres.

    “These targets have been agreed through consultation with the commercial rights holders and the teams, and are designed to ensure a wide working range, minimise overheating, and have low degradation whilst also creating the possibility for variation in strategy.”

    In terms of potential rivals for Pirelli, Hankook has been mentioned as the Korean company widens its motorsport portfolio.

    However, former names like Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear are not currently thought to be interested.
