According to Rubens Barrichello Pirelli wheels are going to be alot better than Bridgstones ones in this years formula one championships.
Next year’s car is definitely in aggressive mode, but it’s about whoever makes the tyres work better,” said Barrichello on the Autosport website.
“It’s a make-or-break type of thing. If you think that the Honda was not a very good car (we had a terrible 2008 season) and whenever they put the slicks on at the end of the year, the car improved itself. It was a car that if it was fighting for sixth position, it was already fighting for fifth, and then they made such an upgrade [as Brawn] it went to first.”
“The Pirelli tyres could have a fundamental change on the cars aerodynamically, so whatever happens it will help some teams and it won’t help some others,” said Barrichello.
“We do think we’re strong, because we’ve been developing it,” he said. “As a driver we’re just concerned that we’re going to have to press so many damn buttons that it’s going to be tough!”
“It’s not about cuddling and love, it’s about getting the work done and getting everyone to hear what you’re doing,” he said. “It’s a good marriage to be honest, with you. That’s what I’m in love with! It’s been one of the best times of my career. Like I’ve said before, all the teams that have employed me have used me well enough for their benefit, but not as well as Williams have used me. They hear me fully, and they actually act. They may have a sense that ‘this is bullshit,’ but let’s try it anyway,’ and then they try, and see some benefit.”
