Kamui Kobayashi “It was definitely a good day. We had no problems with the
car and covered a lot of mileage. The car felt good. I
enjoyed driving a lot and also working with the team. It was
a difficult winter for everyone but they seem to have done a
good job; I want to thank them for that. Now it is important
to keep working hard for the remaining test opportunities.”
Willy Rampf “It was another positive day of testing for us. First of all
(Technical Director) Kamui familiarised himself with the car and the track. We
then continued with some basic set-up work and ran the car
on different fuel levels. The latter is very important for us in
order to be able to compare the results from the track with
our results from track simulation. As yesterday, the car was
reliable, which enabled us to complete our programme as
scheduled.”
What comes next Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be the third and final day of
testing in Valencia. Pedro de la Rosa will be taking over
driving duties again.
