Japan Sunday quotes: Bridgestone
Shoshi Arakawa, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board - Bridgestone Corporation: "While there was no win for a Bridgestone shod car today we are nevertheless extremely proud to have watched all the Bridgestone supported teams and drivers give us a great race
"We thank them for their efforts. Only one more race remains of this exciting season and we at Bridgestone will do our best to give the teams the support they need for the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix."
Hisao Suganuma, Technical Manager of Bridgestone Motorsport: "It was a disappointing race but that is the nature of racing. Until Michael had a problem with his car, the Bridgestone tyres were performing well and he was controlling the race.
"Massa drove a strong and consistent race, finishing second but he picked up a puncture in his right rear tyre which unfortunately meant he had to pit earlier than planned.
"Nevertheless, it was good to see him on the podium. It was also good to see both Toyota drivers pick up some points and Nico Rosberg finish tenth. There is now just one more race which makes next week's Jerez test a vital one for choosing the right tyre specifications for the Brazilian Grand Prix. It won't be an easy race but it's not over yet and anything is still possible!"
