Hungary Sunday quotes: Bridgestone
Kees van de Grint, Head of Track Engineering Operations: "So many things have happened over this weekend that one could almost forget that we're witnessing a fantastic championship and a fantastic battle for victory today. I believe Bridgestone plays an important but not deciding part of the very close racing
"The soft compound Bridgestone Potenza was a very high performing tyre over the entire weekend whilst the super soft provided a challenge for the drivers and engineers. The track and weather conditions came to the super soft and it performed excellently, setting the race's fastest lap on the final lap of the race.
"We saw a variety of tyre strategies today, the most interesting conducted by Kovalainen who started on the super soft and completed two stints on this compound on his way to a well-deserved point.
"It is fair to say that after Friday and Saturday's running I was a little concerned by the performance of the super soft, but the fact it performed so well in the race is a compliment to our engineers in Tokyo who made the correct estimation. All in all I am very satisfied that we brought the correct tyres which worked well today."
