Bridgestone changes some GP tyre compounds

Following the exciting Canadian GP which actually gave us an interesting tyre battle for once, it seems Bridgestone have decided to make some changes. Some of the rounds will have a larger gap in tyre type, when before they were closer (and were closer still last year).

Code:

[b]Circuit		2010 tyres		2009 tyres[/b]
Valencia	Medium / Super Soft	Soft / Super Soft
Silverstone	Hard / Soft		Hard / Soft
Hockenheimring	Hard / Super Soft	N/A
Hungaroring	Medium / Super Soft	Soft / Super Soft
Spa		Hard / Soft		Medium / Soft
Monza		Hard / Soft		Medium / Soft
Singapore	Medium / Super Soft	Soft / Super Soft

Hope it works

Only 1 round has a larger gap though (Hockenheim), rest have the standard gap between tyre compounds.

Yep one is like Canada but some of the ones which were much closer are apart, which is good news. Hopefully when they allocate the tyres for the next part of the season, they will do a few more with either extreme.

I say ditch the hard tyres and only use softs and super softs and make the compounds even softer
