Right now the decision over who will supply tyres next year in F1 is a mess. The teams spent so long trying to convince Bridgestone to hang around that the courting process of other companies has suffered, and now the FIA and FOM are having to step in and remind the teams that at the [...]

This whole tyre supplier thing for next year is now becoming a bit of a pain in the ass. It started out with a nice, innocent search for a new company to supply tyres and it has since turned into this huge, confusing situation that is annoying the hell out of everybody. After already handing [...]
