I feel the teams switching tire manufcaturers are doing so more for short-term performance rather than building a long-term relationship.
Last year the Michilin tire proved to be quite fast and durable, which caused United Autosports to switch from Dunlop to Michelin (and they promptly won a few races).
It was especially the pace of the Panis-Barthez car that inspired them to make the switch.
Now, Dunlop has introduced a new spec, and it seems to be auite performant, and hop: Panis-Barthez now switches from Michelin to Dunlop.
