Pirelli set to remain Formula 1’s tyre supplier 

Pirelli is expected to continue being the offical tyre supplier for Formula 1 until 2027 with a new deal “in the final phases” in Italy.

The Italian tyre manufacturer is poised to seal the deal with the FIA and Formula 1 on home turf at Monza this weekend where it is also the title sponsor.

Pirelli has been supplying Formula 1 tyres since 2011 after taking over from Bridgestone and it made the bold switch to 13 to 18-inch tyres in 2022.

The current contract ended at the end of 2024 and the FIA recently opened a tender for interested parties for the 2025 to 2027 window with an option to extend another year.

Pirelli’s F1 chief Mario Isola told Sky Sports F1 the process was approaching the finish line when asked for an update.

“Not yet but I hope we are in the final phases,” he said.

“I believe F1 and the FIA have all the elements to make a final decision.”

After beating Hankook to win the previous tyre tender, Pirelli was rumoured to be facing stiffer competition from the previous control tyre Bridgestone.

Back in June Isola revealed the latest tyre tender was “a lot more complicated” than previous instances.

But these fears are now no more with Pirelli to remain part of Formula 1 for a record 17th season come 2027.
