Pirelli has emerged as a third potential supplier of Formula 1 tyres in 2011.
It has been confirmed that Michelin, favoured by the FOTA group, as well as Avon-Cooper – believed to be the preferred option of Bernie Ecclestone and the smaller F1 teams due to its lower-cost proposal – are in the running to replace the departing Bridgestone.
Milan-based Pirelli said late last year that it did not want to enter F1 because it "prefers to develop tyres for racing that will also be used on the road".
But ESPN F1 reports that after a shareholder's meeting in Milan last week, chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera said the company could rethink its stance if certain conditions were met.
