Bridgestone has made only minor evolutionary changes to this year's tyres from the ones used last season, meaning continuity for the teams and drivers. This continuity places the responsibility on the teams to extract the maximum from the Bridgestone Potenza tyres at their disposal.
Bridgestone's medium and soft compounds will be used next weekend at a circuit where compound choice is difficult to make due to the vastly different weather that can be experienced, and the changing levels of grip on a track which is only used once a year.
Hiroshi Yasukawa, director of Bridgestone Motorsport commented, "This will be our second year supplying all of the teams in Formula One and our first as Official Tyre Supplier to the FIA Formula One World Championship. We are very proud to have good relationships with all of the teams in Formula One and we work hard to maintain our fairness in supply to these teams. Safety is a primary concern for Bridgestone and we hope for a safe season of racing. Formula One is seen all over the world and Bridgestone's brand exposure becomes greater every year through our association. We have the excitement of two new races this season, in Valencia and Singapore, and these bring new challenges. Everything starts in Melbourne with the Australian Grand Prix and I am looking forward to an exciting race."
