No you idiot.
Hankook was under consideration because they were the only company to place a bid on F1 calendar events.
IT IS NOT FIA THAT APPROACHED, HANKOOK APPLIED FOR THE SUPPLIER BID.
Michelin said they would focus on Formula E.
Bridgestone also denied to supply for F1, saying they wanna concentrate on Super GT and Endurance World Championships.
How the f would you say Hankook is a better supplier when they dont even have 18 inch prototypes?
Pirelli already had Hard, Medium, Soft compounds with 18s at Catalunya season testing, which was months ago.
Clearly you know nothing how these events operate.
I dont care if Hankook fits other OEMs, they were simply not ready for F1.
