Max Chilton:
“Another excellent day which I really enjoyed. It helped having already done a day of testing on Tuesday because I knew the car, the systems, and just felt a bit more relaxed. So I was able to focus more on driving style and giving good feedback. We managed to do quite a lot, including some set-up work and a few long runs after lunch. At the end of the day I had some fresh tyres, but it was a shame there was a red flag in the middle of my final run. Still, I'm happy with the job I've done this week and I really hope I get the chance to do it again. Working with the team has been an incredible experience and I've learned a massive amount.”

 

Oliver Knighton (Race Support and Strategy Engineer):
“A very good day with Max getting up to speed quickly and making a valuable contribution with his feedback. Today's programme saw further work with the potential 2012 Pirelli tyres, some background data collection, as well as some aero work. A couple of small problems limited the total lap count, but it has been a very positive day and test overall with all the major objectives completed.”
