Bridgestone evaluating 2010 tyres
Posted by Christine Blachford on
Today is the 22nd April and this is F1Minute.
Bridgestone are looking into the option of narrowing the front tyres in 2010 to try and fit with the new regulations. The slick tyres introduced this year have given the cars a lot more grip at the front, which of course affects the handling. Bridgestone have been asked by the teams to find a way to rectify the situation and balance out the cars once more.
In other 2010 news, racing car team Lola are evaluating the possibility of returning to F1. They are running a full investigation into the costs, etc, and it would see them in the paddock for the first time since 1997. Back then, they rushed their entry a year earlier than expected, only participated in one race and didn’t qualify. That would be why I’ve never heard of them.
Finally, bringing you back to the present, Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost has said he didn’t expect Buemi to start scoring points until the second half of the season but he isn’t dissatisfied that the rookie has started early.
That’s it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow with another F1Minute.
