Pirelli may be getting it in the neck in Qatar, but could F1's tyre supplier be about to receive some good news?
Pirelli are set to see off the threat of Bridgestone to remain as F1’s sole tyre supplier from 2025, it has been claimed – but the new deal is likely to be the Italian manufacturer’s last.
Despite their expertise, there were concerns that the timing of a 2025 return would count against Bridgestone, leaving the Japanese manufacturer with little time to build a full range of tyres in little more than 12 months for the current F1 cars. In an era of limited testing, Pirelli have struggled for popularity since arriving in F1 12 years ago with a number of high-profile dramas – most memorably at the 2013 British Grand Prix, where a number of drivers suffered high-speed tyre failures – raising concerns over the quality of their products.
