[QUOTE="BlackSamurai, post: 1648842, member: 4799"] there are pros and cons about single tyre supplier. Bridgestone became the sole tyre supplier after Goodyear withdraw their participant in F1 at end of 1998. Ferrari "smell" a better way to run faster - stick close with the sole rubber supplier. Before Michelin make their return back to F1, there is no secret that Bridgestone have a dedicated engineers and specific "channel" with Ferrari. Rumours were saying, Bridgestone more or less was building the tyre which "suite more" to Ferrari specification than others, which is unfair for other team. But think about it, Ferrari did spend lot of money, time and afford in tyre testing compare with other team, and in return, Bridgestone collect most data from Ferrari (You just can't expect team run with tiny budget like Minardi to send their cars to Monza or Spa solely for tyre testing). We are doing business talk here, let's say Ferrari spend 10 millions Euro on typre testing (to understand the tyre more) and you build the tyre which suite Minardi more, who do not spend any penny on tyre testing, it just doesn't make sense. I just hope that the "Bridgestone dedicated engineer" shall be removed from Ferrari team. [/QUOTE]
