Ferrari, Toyota, Williams and Midland have agreed to join forces and share data on Bridgestone tyre development and testing, Ferrari's technical director Ross Brawn revealed. Toyota and Williams have switched from Michelin tyres to Bridgestone ahead of this season, giving the Japanese tyre maker a further development boost, after concentrating almost exclusively on Ferrari's needs. "There's an agreement between Toyota, Williams, Ferrari and Jordan (Midland) to show all information," Brawn said. "So all the information from tyre testing goes into a central data bank that we can all look at, to see how the tyre testing is going.
