Test Summary: MARTIN WHITMARSH
"Despite a mixed week weather wise, the three day test
in Jerez that concluded today was a positive session and we
were able to complete the planned programme. The main focus
for the test team continued to be developing our understanding
of the Bridgestone Potenza tyres. The wet weather conditions
have also allowed us to run on wet weather tyres, which has
proved useful in gaining valuable intelligence of this track
condition. Alongside the main Bridgestone programme Lewis
and Pedro have been working on individual programmes. Lewis’s
week has seen him focus on continued set-up evaluation and
rear suspension. Pedro meanwhile has been spearheading the
aerodynamic development programme, including work on the front
and rear wing packages.”
