Christian Silk, Chief Test Engineer:
"Once again, it was a positive day for the team. We were pleased to comfortably exceed a weekend mileage with Fernando's engine, and made good headway with the tyre testing for the next races. The set-up programmes we ran today also proved instructive, and both drivers reported themselves pleased with the results."
