Formula One locked in a new four-year deal with Pirelli as its tire supplier from 2020-23. Following the successful partnership, which was up for renewal at the end of 2019, Chase Carey, Formula 1 Chairman and CEO, said: “Pirelli have been an important and valued partner to Formula 1 since 2011. They are leaders in providing innovative state of the art capabilities. They are a premium brand, a clear global leader in motorsport and our ongoing partnership with them is proof once more of our desire to align F1 with the best in motorsport and beyond. We are delighted to have reached this agreement, which guarantees a long-term stable future for such a crucial component of Formula 1.” Jaromir Jagr signed on to serve as the official hockey ambassador for the 2022 Olympic Games, taking place in China, according to reports.
