DRIVER'S QUOTE:"These two days we put some good km down. On Day1 I struggled to get the hang of the track and the car, but after hard work from everyone the Day2 was much better. There is a long way to improve, and the good thing is that we will be testing again in Barcelona in a few days so I will work hard to make sure I improve in the areas we are lacking. We got to understand how the Pirelli tires work even more now, so I am really looking forward to Barcelona".
