Bridgestone Tyre Strategies - Monaco
 

In 2008, the tyre regulations stipulate that the two dry tyre specifications must be
visibly distinguishable from each other. At the Monaco Grand Prix, the super soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyre was marked with a white line in the second from inside groove. The extreme wet weather tyre was also marked with a white line.
