The Italian manufacturer had been in a head-to-head competition with Michelin for the latest contract up for grabs, but F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has opted to keep faith with Pirelli.

Pirelli has confirmed to Autosport a commercial deal has been signed with Ecclestone, with the matter now simply needing to be finalised via the usual FIA processes.

Prior to the Russian Grand Prix, Ecclestone met and shook hands on the grid with Pirelli chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera.
