Pirelli in F1 Pole Position?

Despite an anticipated decision the question of next year’s Formula One tyre supply still remains unanswered, yet various news sources report that Pirelli has moved up to ‘pole position’. While the latest meeting of the Technical Working Group ended without a tyre supplier being named, Germany pubilication Auto Motor und Sport reports Pirelli may now be the front runner.

“In the tyre selection Pirelli suddenly seems to be holding the better cards,” states Auto Motor und Sport. “Michelin’s original high demands have apparently brought the French firm no sympathy points. A possible indication that Pirelli could win the race is that representatives from the Italian tyre company met with Bernie Ecclestone at the start of the week.”
