BARCELONA TEST, DAY 4 - ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE SESSION
After spending yesterday on race simulation work, it was back to business as usual today, with Mark completing 69 laps as the team evaluated development components on the RB7.
Mark said afterwards: “Not too bad today. We had a few niggles here and there but we did well and that’s been the case over the whole weekend. We had a very productive test, no question about it. We have a whole raft of data to go through, so we’ll see where the next test is and get ready for that.”
Our Head of Race Engineering Ian Morgan said: “Today we got through quite a lot of work in evaluating some development components on the suspension, brakes and aero package,” “We got through the whole programme without any difficulties so, all in all, a useful day’s work.”
Summing up the Barcelona test, Ian added: “We set out a pretty ambitious schedule for this test and I’m pleased to say that we managed to get through almost all of it. Obviously, the weather yesterday hampered us a little but even then we got some wet weather running in, which helps us understand the tyres a bit better. Overall, I think we are quite pleased with the progress we’ve made here.”
