"Today was a very good preparation for the season's start in Bahrain. The
reliability of the car was perfect and I think the performance was also
good, especially in the race simulation. It was a very good exercise and I
feel we have now done everything possible to get ready for the first Grand
Prix. It was also a big day for me because it has been a while since I last
completed a race distance. I feel very well and also really confident now."
Willy Rampf
"Overall it was a good test day for us. We improved the car's balance
significantly compared to yesterday by doing some set-up changes. We then
simulated an entire race weekend with free practice, qualifying and a full
race distance without any technical problems. We are quite happy with the
overall pace and reliability."
What comes next
Tomorrow, Saturday, Kamui Kobayashi will be taking over driving duties in
Barcelona for the remaining two days.
