After a damp time on Wednesday, yesterday’s conditions meant the car ran allday on dry weather tyres. Sebastien completed a good number of laps,important as more rain is forecast for tomorrow. On the agenda for todaywas an evaluation of a few aero parts, an assessment of differentmechanical set-ups and runs with different fuel loads. Our Swiss driveralso tried all three compounds brought here by Bridgestone – the Soft,Medium and Hard.
“I am pleased with how the past two days have gone and although rain isnever ideal, yesterday’s damp conditions meant we could try the wetweather tyres,” said Sebastien Buemi. “Today, in the dry, we were ableto do a lot of laps, as the car ran reliably. We tried various set-ups and ranwith different fuel loads, so we are beginning to get a better understandingof STR5 in general.”
