Pirelli confirms its Formula 1 interest - Formula 1 news - GPUpdate.net
Tyre manufacturer Pirelli has confirmed its interest to become an official tyre supplier in Formula 1 next season. The Italian tyre brand founded in 1872 in Milan issued a statement on Thursday saying it wishes to offer its services to the FIA and the F1 teams
Pirelli's statement said: "Pirelli communicates its decision to present a technical and commercial offer for supply of tyres to all the teams in the Formula One world championship. The company plans to present the bid to FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) and FOA (Formula One Administration Limited) by 9 May, the date of the next Formula One Gran Prix to be held in Spain."
The news comes in at an interesting time as Williams' technical director Sam Michael recently told news agency Reuters the FOTA is mainly focussed on a deal with Avon or Michelin.
