Bridgestone will take its hard and soft compounds to the Silverstone race circuit for round eight of the FIA Formula One World Championship, the British Grand Prix on June 19-21, the last scheduled Grand Prix at this track.
Competitors face the challenge of a predominantly high speed circuit, with a low speed section before the start-finish straight. The high speeds and also the abrasive nature of the track surface mean that tyres are worked hard over the weekend.

Hiroshi Yasukawa, Bridgestone (Director of Motorsport):

“Silverstone is a destination that we know well and it is one where there have been many interesting races over the years. Bridgestone Motorsport has its European base in Britain, so Silverstone is like a home race for us. One of our aims when we entered Formula One as a tyre supplier was to increase brand awareness and Bridgestone in the UK has worked hard to capitalise on our Formula One programme. This is one of our key European markets and so we hope everyone enjoys some thrilling racing this weekend.”
