Bridgestone in possible cheat, shock, horror...

13/09/2006

This almost exclusive picture provided to Pitpass, appears to show that Japanese tyre supplier Bridgestone has found a fiendish, not to say entirely illegal, way in which tyre performance can be improved, by applying lashings of what, at first glimpse, appears to be yoghurt.

This shocking photograph shows what is believed to be a Bridgestone employee wearing overalls, ear protectors, and a crude form of gas mask... raising questions as to why such protection should be needed in the Formula One paddock.

The most damning thing about this almost exclusive photograph is that the Bridgestone employee appears to be eating yoghurt... or maybe an ice cream, or even a Crunchie McFlurry... it might even be a bowl of Frosties... in what is clearly a contaminated environment.

Look at the man, look at his eyes, look at the pout, that smug inscrutable smile, the know-it-all expression... he is clearly up to no good!!!

What is really happening, we must be told!!!

We need to lie down in a darkened room, as we are sure you will good reader, such is the shock at seeing this almost exclusive picture.

At a time when we are hearing of conspiracy after conspiracy... this is how seriously this picture and the so-called tyre tampering story should be treated!
