MF1 Racing Barcelona Test - Day One
Weather Conditions:
Dry and Overcast until 14:30, followed by Heavy Rain
Driver: Tiago Monteiro
Chassis: M16-02
Engine: Toyota
Fastest Lap: 1'18.717
Number of Laps: 59
Distance: 273 km
Test Summary:
The weather made an unwelcome intrusion into MF1 Racing's
test programme today but in spite of this, the team continued
making good progress with some race simulation work, general
reliability improvements, and control systems testing. Tiago
will drive again tomorrow morning to undertake some tyre development
work before handing over the car to Christijan for the remainder
of the test.
Quote - Tiago Monteiro:
" We had some really promising runs with the car this
morning, which was encouraging, as I believe we ended up just
over one second behind the quickest time of the day. We were
preparing to begin practicing race simulations in the afternoon
but unfortunately, it started to rain heavily on the out lap
and we held off for a while, but finally called it a day when
the rain showed no sign of letting up. In the end, we did
about 60 laps - which is very close to a race distance - without
any problems. The car's reliability is excellent and our pace
is improving, so I am very pleased with the day's performance.
