Pirelli upbeat about tyre progress

Pirelli is confident that its new Formula 1 tyres are in good shape for the new season following its first testing with 2011 cars in Valencia this week. Although cold weather and the unique characteristics of the Valencia circuit meant there were high levels of tyre degradation, Pirelli thinks its plans to be aggressive with its tyre choice this year are on course. The Italian tyre manufacturer's motorsport boss Paul Hembery has said that the test went to plan - and that degradation was to be expected considering Pirelli's plans to make tyres more on edge this year
