Pirelli is set to face challenge to remain F1's official tyre supplier amid suggestions Bridgestone has made a bid under the FIA's tender process.
Earlier this year, the FIA opened up the tender process for F1's official supply contract from 2025 to 2027, with the possibility of it being extended until 2028.
The last tyre tender process, from 2020 to 2023, saw Pirelli face a challenge from South Korean company Hankook. And while there has been no confirmation from the FIA about the number of candidates nor their identity, sources have suggested that Japanese company Bridgestone has applied.Bridgestone was last involved in F1 from 1997 to 2010 and had been the single supplier from 2007 onwards following the decision of Michelin to quit the championship at the end of 2006.
