Pirelli could be looking at pulling out of Formula One. The Italian tyre manufacturer has supplied tyres to the sport since the 2011 season however has received a lot of criticism in that time. 
Pirelli’s CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera maintains that the company will continue in F1 as long as there is a technical challenge that is apparent.
“If the challenge continues to be technological, giving the teams and drivers what they want, then we are here to do it.
“But if it becomes a commercial event, we will withdraw.
“So if the path remains we are there, if it doesn’t we will not be.

“The important thing is that the drivers are more and more at the centre.
“I believe the tyres work when the drivers are happy, and the public is happy when the drivers are able to have a challenge.”
