NEWS '05 tyre 'two seconds slower'
DRIVERS STANDING
11-29-2004

(GMM -- Nov.29) Bridgestone's 2005-spec tyre is about two seconds a lap slower than the 2004 design, technical manager Hisao Suganuma estimated after the Barcelona test.

''We expected that,'' said the Japanese. ''The cars (also) tend to slide more.''

Next year, a set of fresh F1 rubber will have to last qualifying and the whole grand prix, under a new FIA regulation aimed at reducing speed in a corner.

Suganuma said a full GP distance was not attempted with Ferrari on the development tyre in Spain. ''We may start to do (that) in January,'' he revealed.

''I am very happy with the work that has been done so far.''
