Default Sauber switching sides............

Sauber switch to Michelin tyres

Formula One outfit Sauber will switch to Michelin tyres next season after six seasons using Bridgestones.
The Swiss team's move means Ferrari are the only top team contracted to Bridgestone although Jordan and Minardi both used them in 2004.

Despite many supply contracts, Michelin trail Bridgestone in terms of results.

Limits on how many tyres can be used in GP weekends and attempts to restrict tyre testing have led to fears over how long F1 can sustain two manufacturers.


Not so good for Bridgestone, especially when FIA is considering switching back to 1 tire manufacture.
