FIA Extends Pirelli’s Sole Tyre Supplier Role in Formula 1 Through 2028

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) exercised the one-year option embedded in the 2023 contract with Pirelli, extending the Italian manufacturer’s exclusive tyre supply for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the FIA Formula 2 Championship, the FIA Formula 3 Championship and the F1 Academy until the close of the 2028 season. The decision was announced hours before the Barcelona Grand Prix and adds a further year to the 2025-2027 agreement already in force.

Pirelli assumed sole tyre supply duties for Formula 1 in 2011, succeeding Bridgestone. Although the brand’s involvement in Grand Prix racing dates back to the inaugural 1950 season, the current partnership began with the 2023 tender that secured supply for 2025-2027 and included a clause for a single-year extension. The extension marks the 18th consecutive season of Pirelli’s exclusive role and follows the recent milestone of 500 Grand Prix events supplied by the company.
