Michelin Formula One Bid looks to be on the cards
Pascal Couasnon. Has hinted on many occasions about the Michelin F1 bid. For this reason, their interest in making a bid. Hence, for the coveted supplier of tyres to the F1 racing series.
He does, however. I want to make changes to the tyre sizes. also to the method by which the various F1 teams choose the tyres. it is very strongly rumoured. That is the giant French tyre maker. Michelin has been testing F1-type tyres.
Consequently, in the Le Mans race series,
Thus, an event that comes very close to F1. The Le Mans series operates with similar cars and speeds, making it easy to test similar tyres in real-time racing conditions.
A Michelin F1 bid does look likely to be on the cards. Almost all other types of motorsport vehicles use Michelin race tyres, but at the moment, the Pirelli tyre company does not supply the F1.
Pirelli does seem to be fully committed
and after a bumpy start with differing compound problems, they appear to have come up with the correct formula.
In my opinion, Pirelli will not want to give up this prestigious position. I believe that the Michelin F1 bid will have a battle on their hands when the competition for tyre suppliers begins.
Michelin Formula One Bid: What will Michelin do with BlackCircles?
We at Pellon Tyres here in Halifax are at the moment a BlackCircles fitting station. We will shortly be reviewing the situation? The first point is that we are not getting the correct fitting charge for some of the vehicles that we are now getting in for their tyres fitting. To do a good and proper job we have to spend too much time for the fee that we are now getting, this is putting strain on our own customers, who are having to wait longer.
Also, we believe that Michelin will be diverting
the fitting jobs to ATS, their own retail tyre network. This would be a perfect and natural thing for them to do, but I feel that it would be time for the independent retailers to pull out before they remove the plug and perhaps leave gaps in your business plan. These are just my own opinions, but I feel that we should react to them.
