Fauzy back in Spyker for aero test at Santa Pod
9 August 2007 - Spyker's Malaysian test driver Fairuz Fauzy
returned to the Formula 1 cockpit today in Santa Pod, UK,
to put in a further day's testing for the Etihad Aldar Spyker
Formula One Team. In warm, sunny conditions, the Malaysian
assisted the team with its aero development programme, the
first time Fairuz had been in the F8-VII since the team's
four-day test in Paul Ricard back in May.
'It was great to be back in the F1 car,' commented Fairuz.
'We concentrated on aero development and control systems and
had a very productive day. Santa Pod is not really a complete
track, but it's quite bumpy, fun and challenging to drive.
We didn't have any problems and it was nice to be able to
get some more mileage in a Formula One car. I'm looking forward
to getting some more time later in the season.'
This season, the 24-year-old has also been competing in the
Formula World Series by Renault 3.5 series. So far Fairuz
has enjoyed some promising results and in the last round of
the series at the Hungaroring, secured his best result of
the season so far; second place, just half a second behind
the winner.
