A meeting of the Technical Working Group did not result in a decision about F1's tyre supplier for 2011.
Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, however, reports that Pirelli has moved into pole position for the contract, even though recent rumours suggested both the Italian marque and Michelin were offering to supply tyres for 1.5m euros per team.
Earlier this week, representatives of Pirelli met with F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the technical directors' meeting, it emerges that the new tyre supplier and the ban on double diffusers will not be the only technical changes for 2011.
The magazine said 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.
