Michelin competitive with all 3 compounds

McLaren Mercedes - Michelin test driver Alexander Wurz was fastest in both free practice sessions on the opening day of the Brazilian Grand Prix meeting at Interlagos. Pierre Dupasquier, Michelin, talks about the first day of testing.

Pierre Dupasquier, Michelin Motorsport Director “There might not have been a great deal of difference between the lap times in today’s two sessions, but the track conditions changed significantly during the day. They are likely to evolve again before the cars run tomorrow – but it is difficult to predict quite how. The weather forecast seems to change every couple of hours.
We have brought three different types of tyre to this race – two primes and one option – and all were well suited to today’s conditions. It is far too soon to know what our seven partners will choose for the race, but they have completed an enormous number of laps and we will have to pore over the data with great care. Our engineers have a great deal of thinking to do this evening.”
