Abu Dhabi, UAE – Pirelli’smotorsport director Paul Hembery has said that Pirelli tires “performed as we expected them to here [Abu Dhabi], in line with the data we had collected before the race.”
Congratulating Lewis Hamilton for winning the title, he said: “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.
