Mercedes-McLaren switches tires

As all you F1 fans know, Mercedes-McLaren was using Pirelli tires, but now they have switched to Michelin, which comes as a surprise to me: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines01/11/s7510.html

Actually, they switched from Bridgestone, not Pirelli. Thanks for the info!

Sorry, I meant Bridgestone! I don't know why I said Pirelli, maybe because I have been thinking of getting Pirelli's as my next tires

Thumbs down I hope Michelin improves

Michelins have some strong points, but I hope they correct the issue of loosing grip after several laps only to regain grip again.

Watching JPM and RS fight to keep control of their Williams just as they were leading was heartbreakening.
