Barcelona Testing, Day 3
The Renault F1 Team completed a diligent final day of testing
in Barcelona to round off a productive week's work.
Perfect testing conditions today in Barcelona saw Renault
F1 Team drivers Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen
complete over 1000 km today as they completed the final day
of a three-day test.
Both drivers concentrated on long run performance during
the day, finalising the tyre selection ahead of next weekend's
British Grand Prix as they conducted endurance running on
the Michelin tyres. Both drivers showed encouraging first
lap pace and consistency as they set third and fourth-fastest
times respectively.
Chief Test Engineer Christian Silk commented:
"It was a strong final day for the team today in Barcelona.
The team has worked well this week, and we have completed
a lot of reliable laps to make good progress with our programmes.
Michelin have developed an interesting range of products for
the coming race, and we feel we have some good answers for
Silverstone. We can be optimistic of another strong Renault
performance next weekend."
