Paul Ricard Testing, Day 2
Day two at Paul Ricard for the Renault F1 Team.
The Renault F1 Team continued its development programme today
at Paul Ricard, which was still in Monaco configuration.
Fernando Alonso and Heikki Kovalainen continued to work on
the preparation of the Monaco GP and they remained focused
on tyre testing in order to choose the envelops for this very
specific race.
Fernando Alonso started his programme with set up changes
in order to adapt the car to the track and then he worked
on tyre testing until the end of the session.
Heikki Kovalainen had once again a busy day mainly focused
on tyre testing with our partner Michelin.
It was a very positive day for the team as the Renault drivers
covered a lot of laps: 122 laps for Fernando Alonso who set
the fastest laptime of the day in 1'05.363 Heikki Kovalainen
covered 111 laps and set his second-fastest laptime in 1'05.546.
Christian Silk, Chief Test Engineer: "We
worked pretty well these past two days and it was a very productive
session for the preparation of Monaco. We did good progress
and the drivers seem to be pleased with the set up of the
car. We are very satisfied and confident".
