“Exactly what we were aiming for” – Hembery at German GP
Paul Hembery, Formula One tyre supplier Pirelli’s motorsport director, has hailed both the varied strategies of drivers in the German Grand Prix and race winner Lewis Hamilton’s use of the less-fancied medium compound PZero White tyre as indicative of the brand’s continued success in its first season back in the sport. The victory was Hamilton’s second of the 2011 season following 60 laps of battles for the lead. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso was second, ahead of Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber – who started from pole – in third.
