Tyre puzzle to slot together
Some teams expected to switch

(GMM) Much of the 2006 tyre puzzle will slot together in the next few weeks, with most teams expected to sign contracts by then.

Red Bull, currently with Michelin, appear the most likely to switch allegiances, with the new Ferrari V8 engine partnership to kick off.

''It is the most important decision we will take this year,'' said team boss Christian Horner, ''and it is important that we get it right.''

Also in Autosport magazine, meanwhile, McLaren's Ron Dennis played down the prospect of a mass exodus back to the most likely control tyre supplier of the future, Japanese marque Bridgestone.

He said: ''I wouldn't for one minute not talk to anyone, but if you ask 'are we in negotiations', no we are not.''
