| Tyres found to be legal | |
| The tyres,
both Bridgestone and Michelin, taken for lab tests at Monza last month have
been found to conform with the rules. The FIA sent the tyres to England but
the tests were designed to establish a method for scrutineering of compounds
for next years Formula One season. This ran contrary to what was reported in
the media, where it was reported that there was an issue with the
Bridgestone tyres. A
FIA spokesperson told Atlas F1: "We took samples from both types of tyres
and sent them to a British lab. We wanted to come up with a method of
checking tyre compound next year, to establish a protocol for next season.
The tyres have been tested in several ways and the results have been
completely conclusive. We are satisfied by the results." Tyres from both Michelin and Bridgestone were taken at the Italian Grand Prix and tested in order to determine the most reliable method of obtaining an accurate result. |
