Confirmed: Pirelli retains as tyre supplier in Formula 1 till 2019

It was confirmed before the Russian Grand Prix (11/10/15) that Pirelli will retain as Formula 1's tyre supplier under the latest contract till 2019.



Pirelli, has been Formula 1's sole tyre supplier since returning in 2011 replacing Bridgestone.

Overall, a good decision from the FIA to keep Pirelli for next season. There were some rumours that some teams wanted Michelin to be the F1 tyre supplier. Instead Pirelli will develop a new larger and wider tyres (17 inches is the rumour, then the current 13 inches) to the teams for the 2017 season onwards.
