FIA Extends Pirelli

The FIA exercised an option to keep Pirelli as tyre supplier for Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and F1 Academy through 2028.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said the extension adds stability and collaboration with the Formula One Group and Pirelli, while the 2023 deal that covered the 2025-2027 seasons enabled the option.
The 2028 agreement marks Pirelli’s 18th year as supplier, its 515th race start and passes 500 Grands Prix, approaching Goodyear’s 368 wins.

Summary

FIA Extends ADUO

The FIA announced an extension to the ADUO tyre regulation only hours before the Barcelona Grand Prix, catching teams and fans off guard.
Red Bull's formal request for ADUO tyre data led the FIA to schedule a review.
Pirelli has been the exclusive tyre supplier for Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3 since 2011.
The timing of the announcement suggests the FIA is prepared to finalize agreements shortly before race weekends.
