Tyre decision days away, Pirelli still favourite

Red Bull and Williams’ bosses, Christian Horner and Adam Parr, have both admitted that the decision over who will supply the teams with tyres from 2011 is taking longer than expected, but should be finialised in “a few days.”

The paddock is split between Pirelli and Michelin with some teams favoring the latter because of their more recent involvement in the sport. 

However, it came to light last week, that the deal put forward by Pirelli, as well as their positive attitude, has swayed the majority of the teams in their favor.

Nick Sharrock, Michelin’s competition director, remains positive about the French-outfit’s chances.

“I am sure the teams listened, they asked questions and we have tried to clarify as much as possible any doubts that they had.”
