    I think I'd say "**** you guys!"....

    He does have a point..... I don't quite understand what the delay is; I know the TFHB believe Todt wants Michelin back, but AFAIK they're on record as saying they're not interested. Who the hell would be?

    If they don't get an agreement soon it could get interesting..... That they have a contract with Bernie is all that's needed I guess. IIRC, for some reason Marussia is the only one that doesn't have a contract in place, and one could argue "so what"?

    I also believe the contract with Bernie covers trackside advertising; How cool would it be to see "Pirelli" everywhere when they're actually running someone elses rubber? ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian
    Pirelli thinks opening up 2014 F1 tyre tender would be farcical - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

    There must be more going on behind the scenes than we know.

    Ermm I'll reserve your dining table ..;)

    Michelin, which last supplied tyres to F1 in 2006, told teams it could produce the tyres, despite the late notice.
