A huge crowd of fans packed the grandstands at the Ricardo Tormo circuit near Valencia today and although we can find no mention of it on Internet search engines, the fans insisted that today was a National Holiday in Spain. Judging by their clothing, we are guessing it was the Day of Saint Fernando Alonso!

In the Scuderia Toro Rosso camp, the main item on the agenda for both our drivers this morning was getting to know the circuit, which the team has not used for a long time. Once a decent set-up had been established, in the afternoon SebastiEn worked on evaluating some new aero parts, while SebastiAn continued with set-up, as the track conditions gradually evolved because of changes in the wind and temperature.

Both Sebs continue work here tomorrow.
