2007 Bridgestone F1 tyres

Posted on February 23, 2007 @ 10:32 am

Bridgestone have just announced that they will only be supplying four different types of tyre to F1 teams in 2007.

The four different types of dry weather tyre will be Hard, Medium, Soft and Super Soft, of which two types will have to be chosen for each grand prix race. Along with this is the new grand prix ruling which states that every driver must use at least one set of their tyres in dry weather races.

On the negative side for grand prix teams using Bridgestone tyres, Bridgestone tyres are currently around two seconds slower a lap than their main competitor Michelin’s tyres.
