Michelin Back in F1

Formula One received a big prestige boost this week when Michelin, the French tire maker, announced it would return to the circuit in 2001. The radial giant had previously outfitted F1 cars from 1977 to 1984. It will begin putting its tires on the cars of the BMW-powered Williams team the year after next, and will establish a relationship with Toyota soon after that. The Michelin return fills a void left by Goodyear, which left the circuit in 1998. This article from the Speed Vision website fills you in on all the details about this exciting development.
