Pirelli have a monopoly on making the tyres and they are only under obligation to 'suit tyre for purpose' and are distancing themselves from anything else.
FIA want only one tyre supplier to control costs, Pirelli's contract continues to the end of 2023 and it's unknown if they'll continue or that another supplier will take over.
