Because the decision about next year's supplier is not yet to be taken, F1 teams decided not to lose any more time for the design of 2011 cars, and will proceed taking under account the current specification of Bridgestone tyre.The Japanese marque has already announced its departure from F1, and it had been expected that either the Italian company Pirelli or the French Michelin would be unveiled as successor.
But Michelin has thrown a spanner in the works, sending competition boss Nick Shorrock to Istanbul, where a 90-minute meeting on Sunday resulted in the teams still not deciding on an outcome for next year's World Championship.
Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn told Reuters in Turkey.
"It's going to take a little while longer... Our cars are being designed around the current tires because we have no other information.
Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali commented:
"It's already late and we cannot really waste more time on it," said
