Bridgestones penultimate Formula 1 race saw an epic and exciting Brazilian Grand Prix with Sebastian Vettel taking his fourth win of the season and his Red Bull Racing team winning the constructors championship.
Vettel led team-mate Mark Webber across the line, with Scuderia Ferrari Marlboros Fernando Alonso finishing third. All three drivers used the same super soft medium Bridgestone Potenza tyre strategy. As a complete contrast to yesterdays damp qualifying, the race saw hot and dry weather conditions.
Hiroshi Yasukawa Director of Bridgestone Motorsport, says
Congratulations to Red Bull Racing for winning the Constructors Championship today and well done to Sebastian, Mark and Fernando for such strong drives to the podium. Thank you Sao Paulo and Brazil for such a warm welcome over the many years we have been visiting. We always enjoy great racing here and the millions of fans around the world saw Bridgestones tyres showcased in this fantastic race. The drivers championship is very much alive so we are looking forward to next weekends final race of the season, which will also be Bridgestones last.
Hirohide Hamashima – Bridgestone Director of Motorsport Tyre Development, says
The weather was very different from yesterdays damp conditions and we started the race with a very green track. This meant that the super soft compound was less durable at the start of the race when the track surface was at its worst. As we predicted, at around a third of the race distance the surface had improved significantly. Rubens and Kamui showed the benefits of the super soft compound in the later, better conditions. This meant that when there was a safety car period, many drivers also changed back to the super soft. Aside from the top three, there was a good variety of tyre strategies today. Overall, our tyres performed very well whatever the weather conditions over this weekend so I am very satisfied.

Bridgestone Potenza Driver Tyre Strategies Rd.18 Brazilian Grand Prix
In 2010, the tyre regulations stipulate that the two dry tyre specifications must be visibly distinguishable from each other. At the Brazilian Grand Prix, the super soft (option) compound Bridgestone Potenza tyres were marked with green bands on the sidewalls. The wet weather tyres were also marked with a green line in a central groove.
