Hisao Suganuma Bridgestone Technical Manager Bridgestone was the source of many difficulties at the beginning of the year for Ferrari, but now they seem to be improving in qualifying and race trim. Here is what Suganuma had to say about the qualifying session: “Unfortunately Ferrari didn’t quite make pole today but we were certainly pleased to see both drivers in touch with the front runners and I’m looking forward to seeing the performance of the car-tyre package in the race tomorrow. The first of this morning’s practice sessions was still damp from the overnight and early morning rain, resulting in very little running. Of the Bridgestone runners, only Minardi set a few timed runs because conditions were too dry for the wet tyres and too wet for the dry tyres. The teams were able to get some dry tyre running in the next session and we got a glimpse of the potential of our tyre performance in that session. Magny-Cours can be tough because of rear tyre degradation but I think we look in good, competitive shape at the moment. We have good consistency which will benefit all three Bridgestone teams.” |
