Controversy over rain tyres“We had the advantage on very wet ground but we lost the advantage every time because the safety car came out and saved the cars with tyres made by our rival. It’s not right.” Pascal Vasselon, F1 programme director for Michelin. Bridgestone's strategy is quite clear here, sacrifice a few cars during the race to bring out the pace car, therefore the Michelin runners can't take advantage of their tires, and bid their time until the track dries out.... But thank God that didn't happen becuase Michelin runners like Weber & Alonso came to the rescue.
