the balance throughout the day, and I am pleased with the
tyre testing we completed. The car's handling is improving
all the time and we are learning a lot. I'm pleased with the

Number of Laps 87
Distance 347km
Test Summary
Today's session was intended as a familiarisation for Markus
and a chance to complete more mileage with the team following
his test at the end of last year in Jerez. He did a good job
covering a number of planned test items and the team is pleased
with his progress.
Quote: Markus Winkelhock
"The car felt really good and I gained more experience
after the test in Jerez in December. I feel more and more
confident in the car and it was nice to get experience with
the V8 engine. The circuit has a lot of slow corners for a
Formula One car, although I tend to prefer the fast corners.
I had a really good day and enjoyed being with the team again."
Extra Giorgio Mondini ran a limited number of laps in the
EJ15B-03 in preparation for a full day of testing tomorrow.
