The motorsport manager of the Milanese company retraces all the experiences lived in the GPs since 2011 and the technical-promotional link created with F1, on the eve of the confrontation with rival Bridgestone to be sole supplier in the coming seasons
Pirelli’s contract as sole tire supplier for F.1 will expire at the end of 2024. But the competition for the future has already begun and the historic Italian company, present in grand prix since 2011, must face the offensive of the Japanese giant Bridgestone, which in turn presented the candidacy for the period 2025-2027. A great challenge, as Mario Isola, head of Pirelli motorsport, explains in this interview, retracing the efforts made over the past thirteen years to adapt the product to regulations and technical progress.
