Published on December 10, 2019, the FIA announced that all 10 Formula One teams have unanimously voted to continue using the current specification of Pirelli tyres for the 2020 season.
The decision comes after teams tested a mixture of the 2019 and 2020 specification tyres in post-season testing, with Pirelli receiving mixed results from teams and their drivers.
According to the FIA, a vote required at least 70% of teams to agree to continue using the current compounds for the next season.
"The vote resulted in a unanimous decision to keep the 2019 specification tyres for the 2020 season by the Formula One teams," the FIA said in a statement.
The new season is set to begin with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 15.
The FIA expressed gratitude to Pirelli and all the teams for their work and collaboration to improve the tyres for the 2020 season and beyond.
"In any case, the lessons learnt will be invaluable for the further improvement of the tyres in the future," the FIA added.
