Bridgestone have downplayed concerns over next season's ban on trye warmers, saying this week's Barcelona test has proven their slicks can perform even when cold.
Bridgestone's technical manager Tetsuro Kobayashi has downplayed their concerns as he feels the latest spec slick tyres have proven to be "much improved."
"Running with the slick tyres has been interesting and we are also happy with their performance," he said. "The situation of warm-up with these tyres is much improved as we look to the future with no tyre blankets.
Kobayashi added that he believes the situation would improve further as Bridgestone and the teams continued to develop the new tyres.
Data accumulated from the four days at Barcelona will help both Bridgestone and the teams to understand the characteristics of a Formula One cars with slick tyres to the 2009 season.
