TEAM QUOTES
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
At Jerez we concluded a three day test with all our drivers
working on the reliability of the 2008 transmission. We also
continued work on electronic set-up for the standard ECU.
Next week we’ll be in Valencia with our new car.
Kazuki Nakajima:
This week’s testing was quite badly affected by the
weather conditions. It was wet for most of day one and then
for half of the session today as well. Apart from that, it’s
been a productive three days for us. I’ve tried out
many new things on the interim car which will be transferred
over to the FW30, but I still need to do some work to get
everything right. We’re running the new car next week
and I’m really looking forward to driving it for the
first time.
