Bridgestone Wants F1 Tyre Contract

Bridgestone has put itself forward to be the sole F1 tyre supplier if Max Mosley’s 2008 regulations come into place.

“We want to showcase our technology,” said the manufacturer’s technical manager Hisao Suganuma, “even with a one make situation. We want to be in Formula One.”

FIA president, Mosley, claims that imposing a single slick tyre would improve safety and reduce the need to test.

It will also ensure that no team is affected by being “contracted to the ‘wrong’ supplier”, an FIA dossier read.
