TEAM QUOTES
Dickie Stanford, Test Team Manager:
"Kazuki took over from Nico today for the last day of the test and concentrated on set-up for the Barcelona race. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of track time this morning due to torrential rain which prevented any of the teams covering any mileage until after lunch.
We were able to get some running in this afternoon using the intermediates and then we covered a few laps on the dry tyres to complete our prep work for the race."
Kazuki Nakajima:
"For me, day one of the test this week was spent testing the slick tyres for next year and was quite interesting. Nico then covered days two and three and I came back today to work on set-ups for the race. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain in the morning so couldn’t get out of the garage, but managed some runs this afternoon.
It wasn’t as much time as I would have liked, and the conditions were constantly changing, but we’ve done some good work and I’m looking forward to coming back for the race next weekend."
