MF1 Jerez test notes 2006-07-21

Comments from the MF1 team after the third day of testing at Jerez

Dominic Harlow, Chief Race and Test Engineer:

"Christijan completed an impressive 99 laps in very warm conditions today. With this, the last chance for a true circuit test before the August testing embargo, we ran a comprehensive tyre study, checked some aero developments that arrived at the test at the last minute, and further suspension developments."

"We are satisfied with the results of our three-day programme here, having covered nearly all the items on what was quite a long test list."

Christijan Albers:

"It was another good test day for us. We concentrated on tyres in the morning but the track lost a lot of grip in the afternoon when it became very hot. The suspension development is coming along quite well and I think we gathered some useful data for the coming races."
