Ahead of the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, F1 announced that they are set to extend its current agreement with Pirelli, keeping the Italian manufacturer as the sport’s sole tyre provider until at least 2028.

Pirelli has been associated with Formula 1 since 2011, when it became the exclusive provider of tyres, becoming one of the sport’s longest-standing and most important partnerships in its history.

On the announcement, F1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali said:

“We’ve enjoyed an incredible history and partnership with Pirelli, relying on their technical brilliance and focus on performance, innovation, and sustainability for many years, so I’m delighted that the FIA and we will continue that relationship for another year.

“As we continue to push boundaries across the technical regulatory framework, Pirelli’s commitment to quality gives all the teams and series it supplies peace of mind as they know they are working with some of the most advanced tyres in the world.”

Formula 1 claims the announcement to extend the contract with the Italian manufacturer reinforces the strength and importance of its partnership with Pirelli, as it continues to evolve around the current generation of F1 machinery.

Additionally, it is not just F1 that Pirelli will provide tyres to; they are also confirmed to provide tyres for the Formula 3, Formula 2 and F1 Academy championship until the end of 2028.

“We are pleased to extend our presence in Formula 1 by a further year, until 2028, thanks to the agreement reached with the FIA – under the leadership of its President Mohammed Ben Sulayem – and with Formula 1,” commented Executive Vice Chairman of Pirelli, Marco Tronchetti.

“Last year, we surpassed the milestone of 500 Grands Prix, taking on and winning significant technological and innovation challenges throughout our long involvement. Pirelli is not just a supplier but instead a strategic partner that has been able to support the constant growth of the championship, driven by the joint work of the Federation and the promoter.

“Formula 1 represents the best laboratory for us to innovate, test cutting-edge technical solutions, and continually improve research and development processes, for the benefit of tomorrow’s road tyres.”
