Uncertainty remains over 2011 tyres

The uncertainty over who will supply tyres in 2011 rumbles on after a meeting of the FIA's Technical Working Group failed to reach a decision.
It is reported Pirelli has moved into pole position for the contract, even though recent rumours suggested both it and Michelin were offering to supply tyres for €1.5 million per team. Earlier this week, representatives of Pirelli met with F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the meeting, it emerges that the new tyre supplier and the ban on double diffusers will not be the only technical changes for 2011.
The main area of attention, apart from the return of KERS, is aerodynamics. Pending the approval of the FIA, the bodywork ahead of the sidepods, and the flow aids under the chassis, are to disappear.
It is also expected that the front wings will be smaller, while the front-wing adjustors could be replaced by adjustable rear wings.
