Germany Sunday quotes: Bridgestone

Hisao Suganuma, Technical Manager of Bridgestone Motorsport: "Congratulations to Michael [Schumacher] and Felipe [Massa] on another great 1-2 finish which has really put them in contention for the championship titles

"Today's win was also special for us as it was the 100th win taken on Bridgestone tyres since we entered in 1997 - something we are very proud of! It is the result of a big team effort, from everyone trackside to all those personnel back in the UK and in our technical centre and factory in Japan.

"Thanks must also go, not only to those teams who have won on our tyres, but to all the Bridgestone teams who have raced with our tyres over the past ten years. However, as satisfying as statistics such as these may be, we have every intention of adding more victories to the tally and we remain focused on the remainder of the season.

"We saw some very quick and consistent performances this afternoon from the Bridgestone teams with five of the top six fastest laps being set by Bridgestone runners. Unfortunately Mark Webber had to retire with a car problem and we are desperately sorry for him. Jarno Trulli finished seventh which was very good considering his starting position!

"Nevertheless, it appears the Bridgestone tyres had the competitive edge this weekend which was good to see considering Hockenheim is tough on tyres and track temperatures rose to 45° Celsius.

"That is now three wins in a row for Ferrari and Bridgestone but there are still six races to go and championship titles and positions to fight for so we will remain vigilant and will keep looking for ways to give our teams the best tyres."
