Pirelli to become tyre supplier for 2011

Oooh the round black bits are going to have a different word written on them next year. :D

I'll wait and see what hapens.

Apparently it's going to cost Pirelli absolutely nothing to supply tyres.

At the end of the day for us, the cost, taking into account all items, will be zero compared to our budget. The advertising campaign which is linked to F1 will be switched from other races where we reduce our presence. First of all for rallying, where there are new rules starting next year. We were the only supplier, and there will be starting next year different suppliers, so we will definitely reduce and will move these investments to F1. We will reduce our budget on other races, and we will be fully dedicated to F1.

Why you no pick Galli? :angryfire :D

You call that great races?
Luckily you didn't call it great racing! :s

Would you buy tyres for your car which are crap but have yellow writing on?
