MF1 Racing Valencia Test - Day Three
Weather Conditions Windy, Dry and Overcast
Driver Christijan Albers
Chassis M16-02
Engine Toyota
Fastest Lap 1.12.74
Number of Laps 50
Distance 200km
Test Summary Worsening weather conditions in Valencia made
some of today's testing program difficult. The team did, however,
make progress in the key areas of reliability and performance.
Tiago will take over in the M16 for the final day of testing
in Valencia tomorrow.
Quote: Christijan Albers "It was a hard
day, due to the strong wind, which affected the downforce
on the car a fair amount. However, we managed to gain lap
time and were quicker than we were yesterday. It's not quite
the step that we would have liked, but it is still an improvement,
which is always positive."
Driver Adrian Sutil
Chassis EJ15B-03
Engine Toyota
Fastest Lap 1.17.93
Number of Laps 27
Distance 108km
Test Summary A series of technical problems cut short Adrian's
test programme today. He will continue his test tomorrow morning,
after which Christijan will take over to perform more tyre
testing for the remainder of the day.
Quote: Adrian Sutil "I didn't get to
do a lot of running on my first day but I did get a few laps
in. I know the circuit from Formula Three, but today's experience
was completely different. The Formula One car was very interesting
compared to the cars I have driven previously; it was great.
The car itself felt very good, very fast. There's a lot of
grip in the corners and you can brake really late. We had
a few problems, but everyone stayed very calm and worked through
them. That's the sign of a good team."
