PIRELLI WILL REMAIN the exclusive tyre supplier for Formula 1 until the end of the 2028 season, following the FIA exercising its contract extension option.
The agreement also covers Formula 2, Formula 3, and F1 Academy.
Pirelli has been present in Formula 1 since the championship’s inaugural season in 1950 and has served as the exclusive tyre supplier since 2011.
The extended partnership will help the sport continue its regulatory shifts, focusing on innovation, safety, and sustainable mobility solutions.
Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said, “…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. …this extension is another fantastic example of working with expert partners, whose experience drives excellence and delivers the very best spectacle on track.”
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem added, “Pirelli has been an important partner to the FIA Formula One World Championship for many years, providing a consistently high standard of performance, innovation, and safety at the highest level of our sport. This extension through to the end of 2028 provides stability for the championship and reflects the strong collaboration between the FIA, Formula One Group and Pirelli. Together, we continue to drive innovation and support the delivery of exciting racing for competitors, teams and fans around the world.”
Pirelli executive vice chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera noted, “…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.”
