The FIA and Formula 1 have confirmed Pirelli will remain F1’s exclusive tyre supplier through 2028, extending the current agreement by one year beyond 2027.
The extension follows a mutual decision that keeps Pirelli’s product at the centre of F1 racing while teams prepare for 2026 rule changes and a fresh competitive landscape.
Pirelli remains F1’s exclusive supplier through 2028 after a mutual extension.
Pirelli has been sole supplier since 2011 and also equips F2, FIA F3, and the F1 Academy, aligning compounds and operating practices across the single-seater pathway.
This continuity stabilises tyre characteristics and degradation profiles, aiding strategy modelling, simulator correlation, and car design trade-offs as new chassis and aero packages arrive.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali lauded Pirelli’s technical standards and reliability, arguing that consistent, high-quality tyres underpin the championship’s push for performance and spectacle.
The deal underpins continuity across F1, F2, FIA F3, and F1 Academy.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem highlighted safety and performance oversight, noting the constructive collaboration between the regulator, the Formula One Group, and Pirelli.
Locking in supply through 2028 reduces risk around integration with 2026 power unit regulations, allowing teams to refine thermal management and energy deployment assumptions with known tyre baselines.
Stability arrives ahead of the 2026 technical reset, reducing integration risk for teams.
Pirelli’s F1 heritage dates to the inaugural 1950 season, reinforcing a long-standing presence that supports development through extensive testing and continuous compound evolution.
For junior categories, shared supplier support simplifies logistics and data continuity, improving ladder progression and giving young drivers familiar operating windows as they graduate.
Commercially and competitively, a mid-cycle supplier change is avoided, preserving reliability, cost control, and fan-facing consistency during an era of substantial technical transition.
