“Michelin is really involved with the teams, trying to push hard,” Van der Garde told Sportscar365.
“We are also trying to push Michelin quite hard ourselves. We’ve done quite a few full days of testing and I must say I was pretty happy with the performance.
“I think Dunlop also changed their tires quite a bit and I think they have also made a good step. To me, the Michelin is very close to the Dunlop.


And I don't think they will be putting even half the effort they're doing now, there's no reason to when the only ones you're trying to please is the press releases.
I would agree but Goodyear owns Dunlop and has put in a good amount of work for their own tires to be as good as the outgoing Dunlops, and isn't that this season? I'm not worried about either of these companies getting the tender. It's not like Pirelli or Continental
