Extension of Exclusive Tyre Supply Agreement Between Pirelli and Formula 1 Entities
倍耐力與 Formula 1 實體延長獨家輪胎供應協議
Introduction
The FIA and Formula 1 have extended their partnership with Pirelli, ensuring the company remains the sole tyre provider through 2028.
FIA 與 Formula 1 已延長與倍耐力的合作夥伴關係，確保該公司將維持獨家輪胎供應商身份至 2028 年。
Main Body
The current contractual arrangement, established in 2023 for the 2025-2027 period, contained a provision allowing the FIA or the commercial rights holder to prolong the term by a single year. Following a mutual consensus among the FIA, the Formula One Group, and Pirelli, this option has been exercised. Consequently, Pirelli's exclusivity extends to the Formula 1 World Championship as well as the Formula Two and Formula Three support series.
現行於 2023 年為 2025-2027 年期間制定的合約安排中，包含一項允許 FIA 或商業權利持有者將期限延長一年的條款。在 FIA、Formula One Group 與倍耐力達成共識後，該選項已獲執行。因此，倍耐力的獨家供應權將延伸至 Formula 1 世界錦標賽以及 Formula Two 和 Formula Three 的支持系列賽。
Historically, Pirelli has maintained its position as the sole supplier since 2011, having previously precluded a competitive bid from Bridgestone. While prior speculation suggested the current term might be the final iteration of the partnership, reports indicate that Pirelli remains amenable to further extensions beyond 2028. The institutional framework for future procurement necessitates a formal tender process; the FIA evaluates the technical viability of submissions before the commercial rights holder conducts final negotiations to determine the contract's recipient.
從歷史上看，倍耐力自 2011 年起一直維持獨家供應商地位，先前曾排除 Bridgestone 的競爭投標。雖然此前有推測認為目前的期限可能是合作的最後一次，但報告指出倍耐力對於 2028 年後的進一步延長仍持開放態度。未來採購的制度框架需要經過正式的招標程序；FIA 會在商業權利持有者進行最終談判以決定合約得標者之前，評估提交申請的技術可行性。
Conclusion
Pirelli will maintain its role as the exclusive tyre supplier for Formula 1 and its feeder series until the conclusion of the 2028 season.
倍耐力將維持其作為 Formula 1 及其 feeder series 獨家輪胎供應商的角色，直到 2028 年賽季結束。
Vocabulary Learning
The Architecture of Institutional Formality
To bridge the gap from B2 to C2, one must move beyond 'correct' English and master Register Precision. This text is a masterclass in Nominalization and Legalistic Verb Collocation—the linguistic tools used to remove subjectivity and project institutional authority.
◈ The Pivot: From Action to State
A B2 learner describes a process using verbs: "They agreed to extend the contract." A C2 practitioner transforms the action into a noun phrase: "Following a mutual consensus... this option has been exercised."
Why this matters: By converting the action (agreeing) into a noun (consensus), the writer shifts the focus from the people to the result. This creates an air of inevitability and officiality.
◈ Lexical Precision: The 'High-Density' Verb
Note the specific pairing of verbs with their objects. These are not random; they are formulaic requirements of high-level corporate discourse:
- Precluded a competitive bid (More precise than 'stopped' or 'prevented'; implies a legal or structural barrier).
- Necessitates a formal tender process (More authoritative than 'requires'; suggests an inescapable systemic demand).
- Amenable to further extensions (A sophisticated alternative to 'open to' or 'willing', implying a professional disposition).
◈ The 'Institutional Passive' and Modal Nuance
Consider the phrase: "The institutional framework... necessitates a formal tender process."
Here, the subject is not a person, but a concept (framework). In C2 writing, the 'actor' often disappears entirely. The agency is shifted to the system itself. When you stop saying "The company must do X" and start saying "The framework necessitates X," you have moved from operational English to strategic English.
