Bridgestone to use same compound gaps in 2010

06 February 2010 @ 05:15 GMT - Charles Cooper The tyres played a vital role in the 2009 F1 season and will again be a key factor in the 2010 F1 season. Bridgestone says they will have a compound gap between tyres at most of the race in 2010. They will follow the same type of tyre allocation as they did in 2009 with race like Monaco not having a compound gap. "Like 2009, Bridgestone intends to take two dry compounds which are a step allocation apart to most races: Hard and Soft or Medium and Super Soft for example," said Bridgestone Motorsport's Tetsuro Kobayashi. This will not be possible at some races however, such as Monaco, where it is important to have consecutive soft compounds to ensure maximum grip on the street circuit. The compound allocation will again be determined by Bridgestone, based on our experience of previous years and the data received from the teams." With heavier fuel loads this season the tyres will play an even bigger role. The top 10 drivers also have to use their qualifying tyre to start the race with. Teams are going to have to make difficult decision at every race as they try get the upper hand on their rivals. |
