I will bet they are already testing on 2-3 stopper tyres, while Michelin are yet to produce theirs.

From what we saw during the 05 season it seems like Ferrari have been testing 2-3 stopper tyres all season!!

Are you saying Bridgestone were told about the tyre change before hand ?

I am not worried, if Michelin can produce a superior tyre for a full race distance, the same can be applied to half or third distance

Well, shock !! Schuey is quoted in the German Press as being in favour of the new engine and tyre regs, and feels that Max does a fine job, being only concerned with driver safety.
Hmmm, lets consider for a moment. The Ferrari was flogged by most other V10 manufacturers in 2005. Now we have a new engine formula.
The Michelins have trashed the Bridgestone product. Now we have a new tyre reg.
It is important to remember that the modern F1 car is designed around its tyres not the other way around. All the suspension componentry is designed and built around the characteristics of the tyres. This includes the design and location of the suspension pick-up points, which are part of the one piece moulded tub, or "chassis".
Now we have a new tyre reg,announced just the other day, and Ferrari are already happily run tyre tests with the rubber to be used under the new regs.
Little wonder that Schuey is happy.
Is that the old Ferrrari Paranoia I feel creeping back into my brain?
Maybe I might just have a quick peek at the F1 Boat calender just in case.

That Schuey just plays with the media!

The old Ferrari Paranoia is creeping in but if you take a Red Bull or two it will go away

F1 Boats, well maybe because Renault will dominate next year now that McLaren are on the way down
