Gascoyne hopes tyre pact holds out
31 January 2006Toyota technical director Mike Gascoyne hopes that a pact among Bridgestone teams to work together to develop tyres capable of beating Michelin holds fast throughout the season, even if it means some teams might lose their advantage.
Toyota, Ferrari, Midland and Williams will pool their findings together to help Bridgestone beat Michelin it emerged last week, but some critics had speculated that the pact may soon fall apart if it looks like two teams such as Ferrari and Toyota are fighting very closely together in the championship.
"I'd hope it goes on at all tests where we're running together and doing tyre testing because it's beneficial," Gascoyne was quoted as saying by Autosport. "You do something and share the information and sure the others may benefit from it, but ultimately as long as Bridgestone benefits we all get a better tyre and that's how we benefit first and foremost."
"We just have to have a quicker car than the other Bridgestone runners," he added.
