The OrangeArrows team completed their final day of testing at Silverstone today with Jos Verstappen and Enrique Bernoldi driving.
The morning's work on both cars concentrated on tyre tests for Bridgestone while Enrique also worked on suspension set up. Both drivers completed a number of long stints in the car in the morning as they fine-tuned settings. Today was the last opportunity for the team to test parts on the car and work on set up before the British Grand Prix next month.
More mileage on both cars continued through the afternoon allowing the team to complete their programme. Both drivers also carried out endurance testing on the cars' launch control sytems.
Jos was very pleased with the day's work...
"We had a very good day today. We got through the whole of our programme which I am pleased about and I completed 95 laps in total, so we got a lot of miles on the car. The car was very reliable today which is good as we could get a lot of set up work done for the race here in a month's time."
