The 8 Most Successful Tire Manufacturers in Formula 1 History: Analysis

Why Pirelli edges Goodyear

Pirelli overtook Goodyear because it has kept supplying since 2011, while Goodyear stopped at the end of 1998. The gap is only five wins, so the order could change only if Pirelli adds to its total, which it can do and Goodyear cannot.

Totals reflect era and exclusivity

Sole-supplier years inflate totals, because every winner uses the same tyre. That helps Pirelli and Bridgestone, and explains why Michelin’s 102 wins come from two competitive spells. Older suppliers such as Continental and Englebert were active only in the 1950s.

Our verdict

Editorial verdict

Pirelli is the most successful Formula 1 tyre supplier by wins, with Goodyear essentially level. Bridgestone is clear third, and the remaining suppliers span the sport’s early decades or two short spells.
