Tyre Strategies 2007 Japanese GP

In 2007, the tyre regulations stipulate that the two dry tyre specifications must be visibly distinguishable from each other. For the Japanese Grand Prix weekend, the soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyre was marked with a white line in the second from inside groove. Wet and EWet tyres were used during the Japanese Grand Prix.
