ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates—Pirelli's Motorsport Director Paul Hembery said that Pirelli tires performed as the firm expected them to at the F1 race in Abu Dhabi, in line with the data it had collected before the race.
“We saw a wide variety of interesting strategies at work today, with Massa showcasing the speed of the supersoft at the end of the race, and Ricciardo putting in a great performance from the back after starting on the soft,” Hembery said, also congratulating Lewis Hamilton for winning the title.
“It's been a fascinating end to a compelling season, but we're already turning our attention to 2015 as we embark on the final test of the season here next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, where some our new tires will make their debut.”
