Michelin Declined to Bid for F1, Competition Boss Declares
According to a report in French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Michelin did not officially bid for the supply of Formula One. The French manufacturer’s Competition manager Paul Shorrock told L’Equipe that while Michelin did hold talks to discuss the possibility of re-entering the sport, the company’s official position remained out while “current regulations” remained “in force in 2011”.
The report quotes Shorrock saying (translated from French): “We made proposals to improve the show, including sustainability, having a positive impact on the environment while controlling costs, and of course providing multi-manufacturer competition. (…) But the regulation has not changed.”
Pirelli was declared the single tyre supplier to F1 following the World Motor Sport Council Meeting in Geneva on 23 June.
