Michelin rules out Formula 1 return

Michelin rules out returning to Formula 1 for now.

Michelin has ruled out returning to Formula 1 for now.

Having supplied F1 teams in the past, the French marque briefly considered returning to the grid more recently.

However, boss Pascal Couasnon says that a F1 return is not currently on the agenda.

"We are not going to participate in a series where there is no challenge to us and no way to transfer technologies to road cars," he told Speed Week at the Formula E race in Hong Kong.

"In Formula 1, we cannot even use 18-inch wheels and the tyres are only able to be used for short distances, so we are not interested in that."

Michelin has not been involved in F1 since 2006.
