For the 2007 Formula One season Bridgestone will be making only 4 tire compounds for dry weather. These tires will be designated as “Hard”, “Medium”, “Soft” and “Super Soft”.

For each race two of these compounds will be selected and each team will be required to run at least one set from each of the two different compounds during the course of the actual race.

It would also appear that the pretty red stripe that was proposed to indicate the softer compound tire will not be happening this season as too many of the teams were concerned it would give away their tire strategy to their competitors which could put them at a disadvantage.

I kinda wanted to see the pretty red stripes because as everyone knows, stripes on things make them go faster!!!

Just about 3 weeks to go now until the first race …
