Pirelli shy away from potential Bridgestone Formula 1 threat

Pirelli has declined to address the prospect of Bridgestone bidding to replace it as Formula 1's tyre supplier when its current contract expires at the end of 2028.

The Italian manufacturer has held exclusive supply rights since taking over from Bridgestone in 2011, and the FIA triggered a one-year option in June 2026 that extended Pirelli's deal through 2028.
