Hungary Preview Quotes: Bridgestone

Tuesday August 10th, 2004

Hiroshi Yasukawa, Director of Motorsport: "The Hungarian Grand Prix, along with the Monaco, French and German races has been targeted this year as one to win and I am confident that our engineers have been able to meet the challenge. The results of our teams so far this year have shown that it has been a real team effort and with the short break after Germany, we are feeling refreshed and reinvigorated as we approach the last six races of the season."

Hisao Suganuma, Technical Manager: "The current test ban meant that our tyre selection for the forthcoming Hungarian Grand Prix was mainly completed at the last test in Jerez, Spain where we found a positive step forward in our development programme. We have also had time to evaluate the performance of our tyres at the last round in Hockenheim and we incorporated those findings when making the final tyre selection decisions for this weekend with our teams. We have also taken into consideration the smooth track surface so have chosen specifications from our soft compound range in order to provide good grip. Hungary is the second slowest circuit in terms of average speeds and track temperatures can be expected to be high, which adds an extra dimension to the challenge of producing a competitive tyre. Last year was a significant race for Bridgestone and we learnt a great amount from it. This year we are looking forward to seeing a better outcome."
