Monaco Saturday quotes: Bridgestone

Hirohide Hamashima - Director of Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development: "Today was difficult for teams, drivers and Bridgestone as we had mixed weather conditions, although this has given us data for a variety of possible situations for tomorrow's race.

"In the morning, teams were able to run with the wet tyre, which is a different compound from that we have used elsewhere. Competitors could also confirm extreme wet tyre performance. The track surface is still relatively green here and there is not as much rubber down as we would have seen if there had only been dry running.

"Abrasion was worse than we saw on Thursday, and we are now analysing the wear rate, however initial predictions are that this will not be a problem for the race.

"Congratulations to Massa on taking his second consecutive pole position this season. On this circuit qualifying position and initial fuel load is very important, and I think we will see an exciting race."
