Goodyear: We Can Beat Bridgestone

Goodyear's operations manager, Perry Bell, has said that he is confident his company can beat Bridgestone at this weekend's German Grand Prix, despite McLaren scoring a one-two at the last race.


The American company has pushed ahead with its tyre development programme, and is convinced that it has the right combination of compound and construction to beat its F1 rival this weekend. (Our aggressive development has enabled us to introduce a number of significant performance improvements,) Bell said, (and we are confident that there is still more to come.)


(Our work continues in the search for improvements in both construction and compounds to ensure that we maintain a competitive produce,) he added, (and we believe that grooved tyre development is on a steep learning curve.)


The company is still at the centre of rumours that it may perform a sharp U-turn on the decision to quit F1 at the end of the year.
