No cooperation between Bridgestone teams

Regarding the F1 agreement to again allow tire changes in F1 in 2006, Renault team boss Flavio Briatore told Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport, "We did it for the good of the sport, even though it's true we're taking an advantage away from McLaren because they could use the long-life harder Michelins better than us. But I don't think this will give an advantage to Bridgestone because Ferrari and Toyota don't talk to each other for that old espionage story [where Ferrari claimed Toyota stole their car designs and produced a car that looked just like a Ferrari], while we Michelin teams have agreed to cooperate."
