Renault finishes strong in its Jerez tests!

A dry and sunny weather allowed the team to make good progress in their technical program today. After carrying out fuel load evaluations in the morning, the team focused on setup work and conducted long runs in the afternoon. Robert Kubica completed 117 laps and recorded the second fastest time of the day.

The Pole stated: « The workday was satisfactory. We evaluated a good number of different things that allowed us to gather quite a bit of useful information. First, we carried out the evaluation of fuel loads to measure the car’s balance. This afternoon, we did some long runs with fuel to conduct a race distance simulation. We were able to complete our program and I am satisfied with the car. »

Alan Permane, Chief Engineer added: « It was another constructive working day and we made the most of the good weather conditions. This morning, we carried out runs with different fuel loads to evaluate the car’s reactions. We are satisfied with the results obtained. We then attempted a race distance simulation and, despite an interruption, we managed to complete the necessary number of laps. We also did some setup work on the single-seater towards the end of the day and we are satisfied with the direction in which we are heading. »
