They looked impressed from the intermediate tires of Pirelli!!

19/2/11,

 The first day in Barcelona, yesterday (18 / 2), gave the opportunity to the drivers to get a first taste of rainy and intermediate tires of Pirelli because in the morning the track was wet. Contrary to what people say about the slick tires of the Italian company the drives looked impressed with the intermediates tires for the stability and performance in a nearly dry track.

"It was important we tested the interim tires and to be honest I was impressed. The track wasn't very wet and soon it became dry. We could move fairly quick, firmly in 1:40. The tires did not show signs of wear, "said Jaime Alguersuari in Autosport. 

Kamui Kobayashi agreed with Aguersuari that the intermediate tires of Pirelli compared with Bridgestone are much more stable. "They have less grip but there are very stable, they look good. It is difficult to judge how we are going with the rainy or the intermediate tires, but I think they have a very hard compound.
