While Pirelli will make changes, Hembery insists it isn't always easy

Paul Hembery has moved to defend under-fire Pirelli after stinging criticism of their tyres in wake of the vast number of pitstops seen in the Spanish GP.
Although calls from fans, pundits and several leading drivers and team bosses - particularly those at Red Bull - to change their tyres have become deafening inside the last 24 hours, Hembery is acutely aware that some will claim that they've only reacted following sustained lobbying from the World Champions. "We can imagine, though, that if we make a change it will be seen that we're making tyres for Red Bull in particular," he added. "That's been the comment made in the media - that Red Bull are pushing to make a change and if we do something that helps them then you can understand that Lotus and Ferrari won't be happy. So it's a very difficult situation we sometimes find ourselves in."
