Lack of road relevance putting Michelin off F1 return
Michelin director of motorsport Pascal Couasnon says that entering Formula 1 as a tyre supplier would not make sense given the low amount of technology transfer between the track and the road. Michelin last worked with F1 teams between 2001 and 2006, and submitted a bid to return in 2017, only to lose out to incumbent tyre supplier Pirelli. The French manufacturer has placed a heavy significance on road relevance with its tyre development in motorsport, using endurance racing as a means of producing long-lasting, high-performance tyres.
