One former F1 tyre manufacturer is not looking to get back into the sport any time soon, as they don't want to make tyres that 'destroy themselves.'
“The question is, how do we leverage technology to have a good show? And that’s where F1 comes into play, because we have been discussing with them for a very long time and we are not in agreement,” Menegaux told“Because they [F1] say to have the show, you have to have tyres that destroy themselves. And I think, we [Michelin] don’t know how to do this. So, we cannot agree.
“The drivers will tell you they want to be at their maximum all the time. And when I hear the drivers in Formula 1, I like Formula 1, but they say no no, it’s not possible.” “First, we need to remind ourselves why Michelin is in racing,” he said. “The first element is not about the show. It’s not about the brand. It’s about the technology.
