China Sunday quotes: Bridgestone
Hisao Suganuma, Technical Manager: "What a race! Congratulations to Michael on his 91st win and to Mark Webber on taking a point in very difficult conditions. Admittedly, we felt a little deflated yesterday after qualifying but today's result was a real boost
"Our wet tyre was performing in ideal conditions this afternoon, unlike yesterday, and it was great to see. We had the right wet tyre for the conditions and the key was that it was then able to connect to the dry tyre's performance range as the track dried up.
"It was also good to see Sakon Yamamoto go the full race distance, which is always good for experience and confidence. It was just a shame Toyota and Spyker MF1 could not capitalize more on the Bridgestone tyres. It was a tough race in ever changing conditions but at least for some of our teams our tyres and hard work paid off.
"However, we will not have much time to reflect on this result as next week is our home race. Our teams have just two race weekends to claim as many points as possible and for Ferrari, who are in a possible to take the championship titles, it will be more like a two race shoot out so we need to make sure we provide the best tyres for the Bridgestone teams."
