Did anyone see TopGear last night?

I am referring to the part where they tested the F430 (both coupe and spyder), and its a very nice car indeed. I was quite interested to hear that the Ferrari test-driver stated that the F430 is slower than it could be because it runs on Bridgestones instead of Pirellis (as was on the 360).

My questions are therefore:
a) Why do they use Bridgestone instead of Pirelli
b) Has anyone here swapped back?
