PIRELLI並未取得F1的獨家輪胎供應合約？因為據聞在土耳其站的週六，MICHELIN的代表已飛往Istanbul Park賽道，與12支車隊展開最後的磋商。為了贏得這份合約，據稱MICHELIN已經修改了其之前的競標條件，以求能擊敗義大利的PIRELLI輪胎。
其實，現在的情況是非常複雜的，因為FOM主席Bernie Ecclestone支持PIRELLI，FIA主席Jean Todt當然支持同胞品牌MICHELIN。而在車隊方面，多金的McLAREN不在乎每年多花幾十萬歐元，只關心輪胎品質和售後服務，所以支持經驗豐富的MICHELIN；Mercedes-GP則從最初支持MICHELIN改為傾向PIRELLI；讓人驚訝的是FERRARI，他們並不傾向於PIRELLI，而是希望簽下MICHELIN。
PIRELLI之所以在之前的競標中占了上風，被認為是藉由低價打動了車隊。據稱PIRELLI提出的單賽季輪胎使用費只需50萬歐元，但是McLAREN領隊Martin Whitmarsh認為，如果服務品質不佳，車隊情願多花錢找信譽佳的廠商。

Pirelli F1 tyres supply deal in final stages
Posted by Editor on Jun 7th, 2010
Jun.7 (GMM) Pirelli has won the race to become F1’s new sole tyre supplier beginning in 2011.
The same news was reported by multiple sources prior to the Turkish grand prix, but Michelin then made a last-ditch attempt to woo the teams by calling a meeting in the paddock of the Istanbul Park circuit.
Once again, after yet another non-grand prix week of negotiations, it is believed that Milan-based Pirelli has secured the deal.
As was also the case prior to Turkey, it is more than one source within the Italian media that is hinting at the latest development.
The authoritative daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, for one, claims that the finishing touches are being made to a contract that will be signed by the end of the week.
Prior to Turkey, it was reported that the Pirelli deal for 2011-2013 was to cost teams 1 million euros apiece per season, in exchange for identical attention and service and a range of just three compounds: soft, medium and hard.
At least initially, the tyres will be in a similar 13-inch specification to the current Bridgestone product, with a longer-term ambition being a move to a low profile.
It had also been reported that Pirelli, already the supplier of the new GP3 series as well as world rally, is likely to also supply GP2 next year.
Pirelli was last in F1 in 1991.
