Giancarlo Fisichella, R25-03, 137 laps; Franck Montagny, R25-05, 84 laps

The Mild Seven Renault F1 Team completed a busy second day of testing at Jerez in Spain on Thursday.

Giancarlo Fisichella completed 137 laps while working on suspension development, set-up and tyre testing. Franck Montagny spent a productive morning working on tyre evaluation before being delayed by technical problems in the afternoon.

Chief Test Engineer Christian Silk commented:

«We had a very good day with Giancarlo, who achieved more than we had hoped this morning. His work on suspension development brought us useful data, and he also looked at some set-up items for the coming races. Most of all, he was able to take full advantage of excellent reliability on his car. Franck suffered some problems during the afternoon, but had an effective morning working on tyre choice for the races ahead. Today , Heikki will replace Giancarlo for the final day of this last session before the summer testing ban.»
