Bridgestone Positive about F1 Tyre Progress

(Clacton, U.K./Tyres & Accessories) Following the conclusion of the initial three Formula One winter tests at the Jerez de la Frontera test circuit, Bridgestone has shown signs of satisfaction with the way the 10 teams (the Spyker team did not test) have adapted to the 2007 tyres.

Bridgestone Motorsport’s technical manager Hisao Suganuma commented that, “Our initial impressions of the first three winter tests are very positive, and I would like to thank the teams for their cooperation and hard work in their efforts to learn about the new Bridgestone Potenza tyres.”

This has been the first opportunity for the teams to come to terms with the new spec tyre that has been chosen specifically for its wide operating window.
