The ING Renault F1 Team completed day two of testing at the
Jerez de la Frontera circuit today, with race driver Heikki
Kovalainen at the wheel of chassis R27-06.
A more substantial programme was planned for the second day
of running, with the Finn testing new aerodynamic components
as part of the team's on-going performance development. He
enjoyed a trouble-free day and was able to complete over 450
km without any technical problems.
Tomorrow, Nelson Piquet Jr will resume driving duties for
the final day of the test.
Heikki Kovalainen: "We had a good day
of work today, testing the latest aerodynamic developments
for the car. We did a lot of laps, completed a lot of tests
and got a lot of data. The job now is to work through that
and analyse it, in order to continue making progress ahead
of the race in Hungary. We are moving forward all the time,
and I think we can be confident of a strong performance there."
Christian Silk, Chief Test Engineer: "We
planned a more substantial programme for Heikki today, in
order to pursue our performance development programme. After
a short set-up programme this morning, Heikki evaluated a
number of new aerodynamic components in preparation for the
upcoming races. As we expect at this time of the year, the
day was trouble-free from a mechanical point of view and we
succeeded in collecting a lot of useful data."
