Bridgestone Is Not To Blame

McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh has made it clear that Bridgestone is not at fault for Ferrari's fall from grace in 2005. Whitmarsh uses reference to Minardi to explain that it is Ferrari and not Bridgestone that is doing a poor job. Here is what Martin had to say:

"In 2004 the gap between Ferrari and Minardi was about 4 seconds a lap. At Monza it was approximately two seconds, and I don't think Minardi has found two seconds. Rather, Ferrari have dropped back. In contrast we had never pushed as hard as we did last year. Perhaps Ferrari pushed less."
