Both Pirelli and Bridgestone are highly respected as companies, and F1 teams have so far steered clear of declaring a firm preference for one over the other.
Vasseur is equally diplomatic, saying he has “faith” in both companies to be able to do a good job if they are given the final nod.
However, he says that what is critical is for F1 chiefs to fully comprehend the differing circumstances that the two rivals face – with Pirelli having experienced challenges as the current supplier and Bridgestone facing a tough task if it makes a return.
Speaking to Autosport about how he viewed what the tyre companies had to offer, Vassuer said: “We are talking about two large companies and I have faith in both.
“If I start with Pirelli, I must admit that over the years we have always asked for new things, every season. First, we wanted more degradation, then we wanted less. We used electric blankets, and now we don't want them anymore.
“So we have to be honest that we have sometimes complained, but we have never had a consistent strategy on the tyre front.
