Red should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Ferrari are best Bridgestone's chance to win (they DO want to win, and they want to win a battle against competitors, not to be tyres-suppliers), that's extremely accurate.

The second part, is true as well: "last thing Ferrari want is for a top team to move back to Bridgestone". Elaborating the idea a bit, they're afraid (and they really are) that some teams might do better than them, so Bridgestone will not see Ferrari as their best chance to win. However that's not exactly what's happenned. BMWilly or Macmerc don't even think of challenging them. They decided to change tyre suppliers and get a plausible excuse for losing. Ferrari didn't force them to use same tyres as they are, but neither forced them to change the supplier, did they?
