Bridgestone is happy with the way the harder tyre for 2007 has worked out. Kees van de Grint, Bridgestone's head of track engineering operations said that progress has been very positive.
"From what we have seen so far in testing there is no reason to change the specification of the tyres we have produced, we have produced a good tyre for the teams to race on for this season," de Grint said. "It was not a surprise that teams could run for so long on one set of tyres. We think we did our homework quite well in the winter and I think the tyres are quite suitable. Having said that, we need to bear in mind that we will go to a much hotter climate in the future."
"The tyres are a number of steps harder than we would use at the same circuit in a competitive environment but we have to remember that these tyres are still very high performance tyres," he added.
