Adrian Burgess
Sporting Director "We have had a very productive
week at Silverstone, despite the wintry damp conditions, managing
to accumulate over 1200km with Tiago and Christijan. We ran
the EJ15b with the V8 engine and introduced our 2006 gearbox,
rear suspension package and new electronics components due
for the M16. This has given us a good insight to the major
parts of the M16 car and the reliability has given us confidence
for the package as a whole"
Tiago Monteiro "It was good to be back in the car after
a month off, the team had four days testing which were productive
as we were trying a few new parts for the new car. Despite
the weather, we were able to test a lot of reliability issues
in the rain and luckily the dry. Overall giving us a general
idea of the direction we're going. Now I'm looking forward
to the launch of the new car early February."
