Following Ferrari president, Luca di Montezemolo's comments to the Italian media on Monday, Bridgestone issue a brief statement.
"Mr Montezemolo is understandably concerned by Ferrari's results so far this season and in particular after Michael Schumacher's retirement from the Spanish GP following the loss of air from two tyres. Bridgestone understands his frustrations and we are working as closely as ever to ensure the competitiveness of the car-tyre package.
Modern day Formula One cars are now extremely sophisticated and we are fortunate that Bridgestone and Ferrari share the close technical relationship that others envy. We have overcome challenges together in the past and are confident of doing so again."
