Who will provider tyres in 2014?

[Koz]

After today, and all the other controversy we have had I can't see Pirelli continuing.

So who are realistic candidates to replace them?

I dont think Pirelli will be keen on continuing. But therefore will others want to come in, if F1 continues to demand "artificial sof tyres".

I cant see suppliers wanting to have their reputation risked.

Especially without adequate testing to calibrate how soft they should make them.

What about companies like MRF and Apollo?

It would be great exposure for them on the world stage.

The difference is that Bridgestone and Michelin are competent companies with a history of designing great tyres for racing and in Michelin's case, Rallying also. Pirelli have almost always been average when it comes to their tyres in rallying and in some cases they've been nothing other than poor.

Does it matter who provides the tyres, if the FiA/ Bernie 'instruct' how they want them, to spice up 'The Show'.

Just let us have an open tyre formula, as F1 should be; and with nothing to spice up 'The Show'.....

However, I agree with Daniel about Pirelli in the WRC, their tyres were rubbish; when they went up against Michelin, they were routed.

With Pirelli's track record in the WRC they were NEVER going to make outstanding tyres in F1.

I don't agree that this is the FIA's fault though, don't agree at all.

Pirelli will continue, read it here first

I could see Bridgestone coming back next year. They had some great years in F1 and Bernie would love to have them back

Bridgestone would be fine, Bridgestone and Michelin even better
