Atlas F1 is a great hotspot for F1 conspiracy theories… but this one caught my eye. The 2007 Bridgestone spec tire is based on the 2004 spec tire… a year in which Ferrari dominated the entire field. Ferrari went a slightly different route than the other teams, opting for a longer wheelbase and more rear bias in its weight distribution.
What we do know is this… Bridgestone based their 2007 tire on an earlier version of their tire (pre 2006). Reasoning behind this was that there was so much competition that tire stability was compromised for better performance last 2 years due to competition from Michellin. Bridgestone and Ferrari are pretty much married prior to 2007… they designed their tires around Ferrari data year after year. Ferrari gave ALL their tire testing data to Bridgestone in prior seasons to help each other gain more understanding of their tires. So going to a 2004 spec tire is entirely plausable.
I guess we’ll see soon enough!
